About Tagbita Airstrip
Tagbita Airstrip is a small airport serving Rizal and the southernmost part of Palawan, Philippines. It primarily supports light aircraft, local flights, and general aviation traffic in a remote coastal area of the province.
The airstrip is located in Tagbita, a barangay of the Municipality of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, near the southwestern coast of Palawan. Its compact airfield setup reflects its role as a community air link rather than a large commercial hub; most scheduled and larger aircraft operations in the region are handled by Puerto Princesa International Airport, roughly 190 kilometres to the northeast.
Ground access in the area relies on local roads, with the main provincial road network linking Tagbita and Rizal to other southern Palawan towns. Travelers arriving here should plan onward transport in advance, as public transport and facilities are limited.
Because of its small scale, the airstrip offers basic facilities only, and passengers are advised to bring any essentials and confirm arrangements with their operator before travel.
