Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (IATA: MPH, ICAO: RPVE), also known as Caticlan Airport, is an airport serving the general area of the town of Malay, located in the province of Aklan in the Philippines. It is one of the two gateways to Boracay, one of the Philippines' best-known tourist destinations. The airport is classified as a feeder 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.
Since November 8, 2002, the airport is named after the late Godofredo P. Ramos, a former member of Congress and a native of Malay. However, the name Caticlan Airport takes its name from its location on Barangay Caticlan in the same town.
[edit] Airlines
The following airlines fly to Godofredo P. Ramos Airport:
- Asian Spirit (Cebu, Manila)
- Interisland Airlines (Manila)
- South East Asian Airlines (Busuanga, Cebu, Manila-Clark)
Due to the small size of the airport, two major Philippine airlines: Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific, fly to the larger Kalibo Airport in Kalibo, the capital of Aklan. This is because Godofredo P. Ramos Airport cannot support larger aircraft.
