The airport is in the San Jose district of Tacloban, on Leyte island in the Eastern Visayas. Its runway runs along the edge of the sea, a short drive from the city centre.
Its IATA code is TAC and its ICAO code is RPVA. You may also see it listed simply as Tacloban Airport.
Scheduled flights at Tacloban are domestic. A new, larger terminal is being built with the aim of supporting international service in future.
Carriers serving Tacloban include Cebu Pacific, PAL Express and Philippines AirAsia. Check the current timetable when you search, as routes can change.
Manila is the main route. Cebu is another key connection, and some services also link Tacloban with Davao.
Taxis run from the terminal to the city centre and hotels. Jeepneys also link the airport with downtown Tacloban.
There is one compact passenger terminal, so moving between check-in and the gate is quick. A larger terminal is under construction.
Typhoon Haiyan badly damaged the airport in November 2013, including a strong storm surge. It reopened within days and served as a hub for relief flights.
Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport, coded TAC, is the main air gateway to Tacloban and the wider Eastern Visayas region. It sits on Leyte island and links the provincial capital with the country's larger hubs. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines classes it as a principal domestic airport, so the flights here are domestic.
The site has a long history. It began as a wartime airstrip in San Jose, and it is best remembered for its recovery after Typhoon Haiyan struck in November 2013. The storm surge wrecked the facility, yet relief flights were landing again within days.
The airport lies in the San Jose district, on a narrow strip of land where the runway runs right beside the sea. It is close to central Tacloban, and the drive into town is usually short, though traffic around the city can slow things down at busy times.
Passengers use a single, compact terminal, so finding your way from the kerb to the gate is simple. Facilities are basic compared with big-city airports. A larger new terminal has been under construction to raise capacity and prepare the airport for future international service.
Several Philippine carriers serve TAC, including Cebu Pacific, PAL Express and Philippines AirAsia. The busiest link is Manila, with Cebu as the other key connection. Some services also reach Davao, which makes the airport handy for trips across the Visayas and Mindanao.
Tacloban makes a good base for exploring Leyte. The MacArthur Landing Memorial in nearby Palo marks the Second World War landings, and the long San Juanico Bridge crosses the strait to Samar. The city centre also has museums and memorials tied to its recovery after Haiyan.
Because the terminal is small, queues can build when several flights leave close together. Arriving with time to spare is sensible, especially in the rainy season when weather can affect schedules. Keep an eye on your airline's updates if a storm is forecast.
