San Fernando Airport (RPUS) is a community airfield on the coast of La Union province in northern Luzon, Philippines, lying within the Poro Point Freeport Zone. It carries no scheduled airline services today but sees regular use by general aviation and flight-training operators making cross-country flights from bases elsewhere in the country.
San Fernando Airport serves the general area of San Fernando, the capital of La Union province, on the northwest coast of Luzon. It is classified as a community airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), which is responsible for its operation. No airlines currently serve the field, but it is a useful and characterful destination for visiting flying-club and training aircraft, sitting within the Poro Point Freeport Zone close to the coast.
The airport lies at Poro, San Fernando, La Union, on the northwest coast of Luzon, within the Poro Point Freeport Zone. It sits at an elevation of 13 feet above mean sea level at coordinates 16.5945N, 120.303E.
San Fernando has a single physical runway, 01/19, 6,964 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS.
The field is worked on 122.1 MHz, used both for flight service (FSS) and tower (TWR/RDO) communications.
The airfield sits within the Poro Point Freeport Zone on the La Union coastline, making the shoreline and the freeport area useful visual landmarks when approaching from seaward or along the coast.
The airport was extensively used as a landing strip by American forces while the nearby Wallace Air Station was in operation. It is now classified as a community airport under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, one of many such facilities the CAAP administers outside the country's major international gateways.
No airlines currently operate scheduled services from San Fernando. The airport is used by general aviation and has become a favoured destination for aviation training, with a number of CAAP-accredited flying schools using it for long cross-country flight training exercises.
