D. Z. Romualdez Airport

D. Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban, serving Leyte and the Eastern Visayas, opened in the mid-20th century (c. 1940s) and operates from a single passenger terminal, making it a compact but important regional gateway. The airport handles mostly domestic flights and is key for travelers connecting to nearby islands and Tacloban city — a short 10–20 minute drive by taxi, shuttle van or jeepney along well-maintained roads. Facilities are modest after recent upgrades following Typhoon Haiyan, and overall costs for food and parking tend to be lower than at the Philippines’ larger hubs; regular carriers include Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and PAL Express.
