the new iloilo airport

it took us approximately 45 minutes to reach city proper from the airport. 17 years ago, the airport was just near the city but due to circumstances, it was moved to Cabatuan, Iloilo...

this is a miniature Centennial airport and the terminal fee is just 30 bucks... well maintained and clean too!
