About San Fernando Airport

San Fernando Airport is a community airport serving San Fernando City and the wider province of La Union in Northern Luzon, Philippines. Located within the Poro Point Freeport Zone, the airport occupies a 40.5-hectare site and functions primarily as a gateway for general aviation, chartered flights and flight training.

Situated about 3 km southwest of central San Fernando, the airport offers convenient road access to La Union's surf beaches and coastal towns, the highland city of Baguio roughly 38 km away, and the Ilocos region to the north. Its runway measures 2,120 by 45 metres and is supported by taxiways, an apron, a passenger terminal building, a control tower and a fire station.

The facility has mainly served chartered flights and accredited aviation schools, with plans underway to expand the terminal and enable broader commercial operations. Its location on the northern Luzon coast makes it a practical entry point for travelers continuing to La Union, Baguio and nearby destinations.

Onward travel is available by taxi, private transfer, car rental and local road transport, with a short drive into San Fernando City and connections toward the surrounding region.
