CYP Airport (Calbayog Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

A concrete runway of roughly 2,000 by 45 metres with an asphalt overlay, new runway lighting and a 2.3-kilometre perimeter fence define what Calbayog Airport (CYP/RPVC) on Samar can do: a PHP 110 million programme in 2025 split PHP 80 million for lighting and PHP 30 million for fencing, preparing the field for jet operations that the Department of Transportation and civil aviation authority CAAP are pursuing with the city government. Today the airport is served by daily turboprop flights to and from Cebu, operated by Cebgo and Philippine Airlines, so freight moves purely as belly cargo in passenger aircraft — there is no dedicated cargo terminal and no freighter activity. Air cargo for Samar therefore consolidates at Mactan-Cebu International (CEB), with Manila (MNL) covering intercontinental lanes and Tacloban (TAC) available as a second regional field on nearby Leyte. Overland the island depends on road and roll-on/roll-off shipping: the Pan-Philippine Highway links Samar to Leyte across the San Juanico Bridge and to Luzon via the Allen-Matnog ferry, while the seaport of Calbayog takes coastal breakbulk and containers. Customs formalities are handled by Bureau of Customs offices at the seaports and international airports, not at Calbayog itself.
