Distance & flight time from OMC
Ormoc Airport
OMC denotes Ormoc Airport, serving Ormoc City on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The airport has a difficult history, having faced flight suspensions and safety concerns tied to its short runway length, which limits the types of aircraft it can safely accommodate. Ormoc itself is a significant port and commercial city on Leyte, and was heavily affected by devastating flooding in 1991 and later by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, disasters that also disrupted regional transport infrastructure including OMC. Efforts to upgrade the airport have been discussed periodically to restore reliable commercial air service. When operational, OMC provides valuable domestic connectivity for Leyte's western coast, reducing dependence on ferry travel across the Camotes Sea.
