Hilongos Airport is a small, quiet public aerodrome on the southern coast of Leyte Island in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines, operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. With no scheduled airline service, it offers the VFR pilot a rare glimpse of unspoiled rural flying in the southern Visayas.
Hilongos Airport serves the municipality of Hilongos on the southern side of Leyte Island and is one of three airports in Leyte province. It is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and currently sees no airline traffic, making it a peaceful destination for general aviation and light aircraft operations rather than a commercial hub.
The airfield lies on the southern coast of Leyte Island, within the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines, close to the town of Hilongos itself. No specific controlled airspace details are published for the field.
Hilongos Airport has a single physical runway, 18/36, surfaced in gravel. Runway 18 measures 3,291 feet and runway 36 measures 3,292 feet. The runway is not lit and there is no ILS or other instrument approach available, so operations here are conducted under visual flight rules by day.
No communications frequencies, air-ground radio service, or navigation aids are published for Hilongos Airport, and there is no instrument approach procedure. Pilots should expect to operate on a self-announce basis using appropriate area frequencies where required.
Hilongos Airport was established to serve the municipality of Hilongos on Leyte's southern coast and remains one of three airports within Leyte province. It has never hosted scheduled airline services, reflecting its role as a small community airfield rather than a commercial gateway.
The airfield continues to operate without scheduled airline traffic, functioning as a small general-aviation strip serving the local community of Hilongos.
