## Description

A 2,100-metre runway now being stretched to 2,500 metres is the fact that decides what Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport (TAC/RPVA) in Tacloban can carry. The field handled roughly 5,600 tonnes of freight alongside 1.5 million passengers in 2023, making it the seventh-busiest airport in the Philippines, but that volume moves as belly cargo on about 40 daily domestic services to Manila and Cebu rather than on freighters. No separate cargo terminal and no international customs channel exist on site, so consignments for the Eastern Visayas clear at Manila (MNL) or Cebu-Mactan (CEB) and reach Leyte by feeder flight or by road. A PHP 2.3 billion modernisation adds a new passenger terminal, reported at around 56 per cent complete in March 2025, and is intended to bring international status to the airport. Road access across the San Juanico Bridge extends the catchment area to neighbouring Samar. Shippers of pharmaceuticals or perishables should plan around the limited handling capacity currently available, while bulk volumes continue to move through the region's seaports.
