Puerto Princesa International Airport

Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS), opened in the 1960s, is a compact but vital gateway to Palawan with a single main passenger terminal handling both domestic and limited international flights. As the primary airport for Puerto Princesa City, it offers regular connections to Manila, Cebu and other Philippine hubs plus seasonal charters to East Asia, and functions as a focus city for carriers such as Philippine Airlines (PAL Express) and Cebu Pacific. Located a short 10–20 minute drive from the city center, it’s well served by taxis, tricycles, vans and occasional airport shuttles. Travelers generally find fares affordable, especially with low-cost carriers and off-peak bookings.
