As quarantine restrictions continue to relax in most parts of the country, more Philippine airports have reopened to commercial flights in the Philippines. To operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, an airport must first have the approval of their respective local government units (LGU).
As of February 2021, 48 of these facilities have resumed operations according to an advisory by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). Below is the list of Philippine airports currently accepting passenger flights amid the pandemic, subject to documentary and passenger LGU restrictions.
