It primarily handles domestic flights and is designed to support future international service.
💡 Local Tip
The airport is in Daraga, not Legazpi proper, so build in extra transfer time and make sure tickets and ride bookings use DRP—not the old Legazpi Airport code LGP.
🚖 Getting There
Ride-hailing apps, taxis, and vans for hire are available at the terminal, but agree on the fare or confirm the meter before departing. Travel time to Legazpi City is typically 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Some hotels and tour operators offer shuttle transfers, so arrange one in advance if you arrive late or have a tight connection.
