Also known as Caticlan Airport or simply Boracay Airport (IATA: MPH), this small airport in the Malay countryside is the closest to the famous island — only a few kilometres from the jetty port. Domestic flights connect it to Manila, Cebu and Clark. Larger long-haul travellers usually fly into Kalibo, an hour's drive south.
The airport has been extended several times to handle heavier traffic — a 2018 upgrade lengthened the runway so it can take Airbus A320s, and an air-conditioned terminal replaced the older open-air building. From the airport, a tricycle or van will get you to the jetty in about ten minutes.
