San Vicente Airport Guide
San Vicente Airport (IATA: SWL, ICAO: RPSV) serves the municipality of San Vicente and the other northern municipalities of Palawan in the Philippines. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines owns and operates it.
The airport was announced in 2006 to support tourism, and construction began in 2009. It opened to general aviation on 22 June 2017 and was formally inaugurated on 10 May 2018. Air Juan flew a charter from Puerto Princesa on 1 August 2017, and PAL Express began a scheduled Dash 8-400 service from Clark International Airport on 28 October 2018.
Its single concrete runway, 04/22, is 1,803 metres long and 45 metres wide. It takes aircraft up to the Airbus A220, and the ATR 42, ATR 72, Dash 8-400 and BAe 146 can all use it. A planned 300-metre extension would allow the Airbus A320. The terminal holds about 100 people, and the site also has a fire station and an elevated water tank. A control tower, parking area, runway expansion and drainage system were complete by January 2023.
Before the airport opened, the road trip from Puerto Princesa took about three hours. The flight takes under 30 minutes. San Vicente is also the base for Long Beach, a stretch of white sand about 14.7 km long.
