Sanga-Sanga Airport, also called Tawi-Tawi Airport, is the main airport of Tawi-Tawi, the southernmost province of the Philippines. It is located on Sanga-Sanga Island and serves the provincial capital, Bongao. The airport once used the code SGS before switching to TWT. It is classed as a principal domestic airport and is run jointly by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and the Bangsamoro Airport Authority.
Sanga-Sanga Island sits right next to Bongao Island, and a road bridge connects the two. The airport is roughly 10 to 13 km from the commercial centre of Bongao, depending on where in town you are going.
The concrete runway is 1,860 metres long. It was extended and widened, and Airbus A320 jets now operate here. The passenger terminal is compact, with the essentials for check-in and waiting.
Flights are domestic and focus on Zamboanga City, the main hub for the region. Cebu Pacific flies the Zamboanga route daily, and PAL Express also serves it several times a week. From Zamboanga, travellers can connect to Manila, Cebu and other cities.
Motorised tricycles are the usual way to reach Bongao and wait near the terminal. The trip across the bridge into town generally takes around half an hour. Some hotels can also arrange a pick-up.
Bud Bongao, a forested peak held sacred by locals, is the top attraction, and the view from the top takes in the surrounding islands and sea. The province is also known for its seaweed farms, stilt villages and clear waters.
