Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP): international airports, principal airports and
community airports. Only airports owned by the national government are classified by the CAAP; the
vast majority of minor aerodromes around the country are not owned by the national government and
remain unclassified under the new scheme.
Airports in the Philippines have used two different types of classification: one previously by the Air
Transportation Office (ATO) and another being used by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines
(CAAP), the successor body to the ATO.
ATO system
CAAP system
The new CAAP system revises the previous ATO system, while maintaining the current classification
of airports into international and domestic airports.[1] The change was made pursuant to the Philippine
Transport Strategic Study and the 1992 Civil Aviation Master Plan. The new system rationalizes the
system of airport classification, represented by the following types:
• International airports are airports capable of handling international flights. Airports in this
category include airports that currently have or have previously served international
destinations. There are currently ten airports in this category, including all primary international
airports, most secondary international airports, and Puerto Princesa Airport and Kalibo Airport,
both trunkline and secondary airports, respectively.
• Principal airports or domestic airports are airports that only serve domestic destinations.
There are two types:
• Class 1 principal airports are airports capable of serving jet aircraft with a capacity of
at least 100 seats.[1] Most airports previously classified as trunkline airports, as well as
some secondary airports, are placed in this category. One former secondary international
airports — the Bacolod-Silay Airport — is also in this category.
• Class 2 principal airports are airports capable of serving propeller aircraft with a
capacity of at least 19 seats.[1] Loakan Airport in Baguio City, previously a trunkline
airport, some secondary airports, and Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in Malay, Aklan;
Camiguin Airport, Cuyo Airport and Sayak Airport in Del Carmen, Surigao del Norte
(on Siargao Island), all feeder airports, are in this category.
• Community airports are airports that are used primarily for general aviation.[1] Most feeder
airports are in this category and only three airports: Cauayan Airport, Labo Airport in Ozamiz
and San Fernando Airport in La Union, all former secondary airports, have regular air service.
Some feeder airports previously classified in the old ATO system, such as Lucena Airport, are not
covered by the new system. Airports not owned by the national government which were not classified
in the previous ATO system, such as El Nido Airport, remain unclassified under the present CAAP
system.
