    Bohol - Tagbilaran Airport (RPVT) - Image 1

    Description

    Tagbilaran Airport was an airport serving the general area of Tagbilaran, the capital city of the province of Bohol in the Philippines. The airport was built and opened in the 1960s until it was closed for scheduled passenger services on November 27, 2018, when it was replaced by the new Bohol–Panglao International Airport. It was built and opened in the 1960s and became Bohol's main gateway since its opening. Prior to 1995, Philippine Airlines was the sole airline operating flights from Tagbilaran Airport to Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Mactan–Cebu International Airport from Tagbilaran Airport with a frequency of 2 to 3 flights a day. The airport formerly served flights from Mactan–Cebu International Airport until these flights were cancelled due to the introduction of ferry services between Cebu and Bohol.

    In the 2000s and 2010s, the airport reached capacity and was congested. The airport was not capable of operating during nighttime. A new airport in Panglao Island was planned to replace Tagbilaran Airport. The feasibility study for the new airport project started in 2000 and was approved in 2012.

    The 2013 Bohol earthquake caused damage including the collapse of a ceiling in the control tower. Operations were suspended for three hours but later resumed.

    Beautiful recreation of my childhood airport! Miss the DC-9s rocketing in and out of there back in the early 2000s. Thank you for this beautiful scenery!

    Thank you for this, just visited the closed airport (you can walk around one end and the other you can actually drive onto now) and I'm happy you made this. The airport did have flights to ICN and service by several other airlines after the 1995 deregulation of the Filipino airline industry. Crazy to picture up to 3 jets on that tiny ramp when you stand there and see all the houses by the runways.

    I been in Taglibaran by boat from Dumaguete in 2019 and took hotel near this airport. Was so sad when I knew it was close year before because the new one is far from city. Nevertheless the new one is near from beach places

    It's decomissioned. Haven't tried but it might show up on older AIRACs from before 2020.
