Overview of Calbayog Airport

Calbayog Airport is the domestic airport for Calbayog City, on the western coast of Samar island in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines. It is run by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and classed as a minor domestic airport.

Calbayog Airport's upgraded terminal and runway

The airport was modernised with a new passenger terminal and a longer runway. The extended runway means Calbayog can now handle jet aircraft in the Airbus A320 class, not just turboprops, and the new terminal holds far more passengers than the old building did.
