El Nido Airport is also known as Lio Airport, after the Lio area where it sits. Its IATA code is ENI.
The airport is about 4 to 5 km from El Nido town. A tricycle ride takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
Flights are operated by Cebgo, a subsidiary of Cebu Pacific. The Cebu Pacific group also owns the airport's former operator, AirSWIFT.
Routes connect El Nido with other Philippine destinations, including Clark, Cebu, Caticlan, Busuanga (Coron) and Tagbilaran (Bohol). Routes can change with the season.
Only small turboprop aircraft use El Nido Airport, so baggage limits can be tighter than usual. Check your airline's allowance before you pack.
No. El Nido Airport handles domestic flights only. International travellers usually connect through a larger hub such as Clark or Cebu.

El Nido Airport, often called Lio Airport, is the small airfield that serves El Nido in northern Palawan. It is a private airport rather than a government one, and it is best known as the quickest way to reach the limestone lagoons of Bacuit Bay without the long road trip from Puerto Princesa.
The airport lies in Barangay Villa Libertad, roughly 4 to 5 km from El Nido town proper. A tricycle ride into town usually takes 15 to 20 minutes, which makes it one of the more convenient island airports in the country.
This is a compact, open-air style airport with a single short runway. Because of the runway length, only small turboprop aircraft operate here. Facilities are basic, so plan snacks and entertainment accordingly if you arrive early.
Flights are operated by Cebgo, the regional arm of the Cebu Pacific group, which now owns the airport's former operator. The network links El Nido with other Philippine destinations, including Clark, Cebu, Caticlan for Boracay, Busuanga for Coron and Tagbilaran for Bohol. Schedules vary by season, and flights are few each day.
Island-hopping tours of Bacuit Bay, with its lagoons and hidden beaches, are the main draw. Nacpan Beach to the north and the Lio beach area beside the airport are popular for quieter days.
Baggage allowances on small aircraft can be stricter than on big jets, so check your airline's limits before packing. Weather can affect small-plane schedules, so leave some slack before tight onward connections.
