The airport serves the Western Visayas region and is located on the amazing island of Panay. It is one of four international airports in the Visayas though I only used local flights this time around.

Iloilo International Airport

The airport is further away from Iloilo city than I would have preferred, but then it is only about 12 miles distant and I suppose that keeps things nicer in the city. Continue Reading
