About Cagayan de Sulu Airport
Cagayan de Sulu Airport is a small community airport on Mapun island, an island municipality in Tawi-Tawi province, Philippines. The island was formerly known as Cagayan de Sulu, and the airport is also referred to as Mapun Airport. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines classifies the facility as a community airport serving the local island population.
The airport has a single runway, designated 13/31, approximately 1,300 metres long with a macadam surface, and a simple passenger terminal. It lies roughly 3 km from Mapun town centre, close enough for short local road transfers by tricycle, motorcycle or private vehicle.
At present there is no regular scheduled airline service at CDY, and the airfield is used mainly for local, government and military flights. Because facilities are limited, travelers should confirm transport and supplies in advance.
Despite its small size, the airport remains an important access point for the remote island community, supporting local connectivity and occasional special or charter flights.
