Upgading of San Fernando AirportLocated in the Ilocos Region in the northern part of the Philippines, the San Fernando Airport, once upgraded, will serve as a regional airport that can accommodate direct flights to La Union, Baguio, and other tourist spots in the region. Considered as the surfing capital of the Philippines to both the local surfers and the world surfing circuit, the airport can readily function as the region’s gateway to other beaches and diving sites. It will also link with and complement the operations of Clark International Airport located in the Clark Freeport Zone.
