Distance & flight time from ILO
Iloilo International Airport
Opened in 2007 on a site in Cabatuan north of Iloilo City, ILO replaced a cramped older airfield hemmed in by urban growth on Panay Island in the central Philippines. Local media dubbed the new terminal the country's green airport for design choices such as rainwater collection and natural lighting intended to cut energy use, a novelty among Philippine regional airports at the time it opened. The facility connects Iloilo, a historic port city known for its Spanish-era churches and distinctive La Paz batchoy noodle soup, to Manila, Cebu, and other domestic points, alongside a smaller number of international routes to destinations such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Overseas Filipino workers make up a significant share of passengers passing through ILO, reflecting migration patterns of families from the Western Visayas region seeking employment abroad.
