There are fourteen commercial airports in the
country that meet the required international airport standards according to airside and landside requirements of Annex 14 of the Chicago Convention, the Civil
Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said Thursday. The rest of the airports are within the minimum standards set by CAAP for commercial jet airport operations in the country.
Transportation
Secretary Giovanni Lopez in a Memorandum to CAAP has ordered that all non-international standard commercial airports across the country must have a minimum
runway length of 2,100 meters to accommodate jet aircraft operations,
except those with topographical constraints.
The initiative aligns with
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to make domestic travel more
affordable and to encourage tourism in the country’s top destinations.
