How to Get in and Out of Roxas City Airport

Roxas City Airport

Roxas City Airport perhaps this is one of the easiest airports when it comes to accessibility, since it is only 2 kilometers out of downtown. Roxas City Airport serves as the main gateway for the province of Capiz in northern Panay Island and north-eastern Iloilo as well. There are daily flights in and out of Roxas to Manila, Philippines’ capital.

Roxas City Airport also serves as an alternative to Kalibo International Airport (some 80 kilometers east of the city) or Iloilo Airport (about more than a hundred kilometers south).

The airport’s terminal is petite yet renovated. The runway can take an Airbus A320 jet.

Getting here and out?

Getting in or out of Roxas City Airport is as easy as pie, because the most prevailing public transport in the city are still the tricycles. There are “airport tricycles” just at the parking lot of the airport. May either charges you with taking the whole tricycle (special fare) or the usual regular fare which is just P8 (as of the moment).

If you are unsure about these trikes, you may opt to walk further into Arnaldo Boulevard and take a tricycle from there. Since it is close to downtown, you may only pay P8 and at least P10 to P15 if you are heading to the bus and van terminals south of the city center.

If you prefer comfort, there are taxis in Capiz that are pegged by the usual flagged down and meter rate (as of the moment, P40 flagdown).

So if you like to get some cravings for seafood, hug the biggest bells in Asia, or simply “bewitched” by its raw beauty, or just looking for a cheap alternative airport going to Boracay, Kalibo or Iloilo, book a flight to Capiz now!

Good thing I speak their language, hehe! It’s really a plus if you learn how to use vernacular wherever you may go, even the basics. Ako, it has been an instinct that whatever that is inside the airport, is expensive. So I’ve walked all the way out. Hehe!
