How to get from/to Puerto Princesa Airport?
Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPL), located in Barangay San Miguel, has capacity for about 2 million passengers annually. In May 2017 the airport underwent an expansion and opened a new terminal.
Puerto Princesa Airport is only 2km away from the city center and you can even reach the center with a 15-20min walk! More conveniently, you can take a tricycle 50 PHP ($0.90) which is the main mode of transport to and from the city center. Alternatively, you can also book a shuttle bus 80 PHP ($1.50). This can be more convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
