Cauayan Airport (IATA: CYZ, ICAO: RPUY) is an airport serving the general area of Cauayan City, located in Isabela province in the Philippines. It is one of two airports in Isabela, the other being Palanan Airport in the town of Palanan. It is classified as a secondary airport, or a minor commercial domestic airport, by the Air Transportation Office, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.
After a plane crash near Cabarroguis in Quirino that killed 18 people, with the destination being Cauayan, the Manila-Cauayan route was shut down. Since then, no airlines have served the airport since, and the airport today remains closed. There are proposals to re-open the airport, such as an independent Manila-Cauayan route, as well as a route further on to Tuguegarao Airport in Tuguegarao City.
[edit] Airlines
At present, no airlines serve Cauayan Airport.
