Loakan Airport — Baguio, Philippines

Loakan Airport serves Baguio City in the mountains of northern Luzon, in the Philippines. At 4,251 feet above sea level, it sits among the highest-elevation airports in this list, a direct result of Baguio's location within the Cordillera Central mountain range. A single short runway limits BAG to smaller aircraft, and the surrounding mountain terrain affects how and when flights can operate. San Fernando Airport lies closest, about 42 kilometers away, with Dr. Juan C. Angara Airport roughly 118 kilometers out and Clark International Airport near Angeles City about 132 kilometers from Baguio. Many travelers to Baguio choose to drive up from Manila or Clark rather than rely on the limited flight schedule at this mountain airfield.
