Catarman National Airport — Catarman, Philippines

Catarman National Airport, filed as CRM, provides Northern Samar province in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines with its principal air connection to Manila and Cebu. The province sits directly in the path of Pacific typhoons that regularly sweep across the northern Philippines, and the airport's operations schedule often bends to seasonal storm patterns. A relatively short runway limits service to smaller turboprop aircraft rather than larger jets. Catarman itself functions as an educational and administrative center for the province, and the airport represents a crucial lifeline for residents and goods moving between this island community and the rest of the country.
