The closest large one is Bancasi Airport (BXU), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,877 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Surigao Airport (SUG, 90 km), Camiguin Airport (CGM, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bancasi Airport (regional) | BXU | 7 km (4 mi) | 6,877 ft | 141 ft |
| Surigao Airport (regional) | SUG | 90 km (56 mi) | 5,603 ft | 20 ft |
| Camiguin Airport (regional) | CGM | 98 km (61 mi) | 3,945 ft | 53 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,877 ft, BXU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 141 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
