Quick facts

270,000 passengers used RXS in 2023 (CAAP). The airport carries ICAO code RPVR, serves Roxas City, Capiz, and has 0 international corridors catalogued on this site. 270,000 passengers used the airport in 2023, per CAAP. 2 carriers base operations here: Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific.

The headline throughput figure is 270,000 passengers in 2023 (CAAP). Throughput is a useful proxy for exactly two things and misleading for everything else. It predicts queue length — security, immigration and check-in scale with people, not with runways — and it predicts how much slack the airport has when weather or a technical delay compresses a bank of departures. It does not predict how many international destinations you can reach, which depends on the route licences carriers hold; nor does it predict fares, which track competition on the individual pair. A busy airport with one carrier on your route gives you queues without price competition. Domestic only.

Distances to the gateways this site catalogues international service from:

• RXS → CEB (Mactan-Cebu International Airport) — about 200 km great-circle.
• RXS → MNL (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) — about 370 km great-circle.
• RXS → CRK (Clark International Airport) — about 460 km great-circle.

The distance is the small part of the problem. The expensive part is how the two legs are ticketed. Buy the RXS feeder and the international sector on one ticket and the airlines own the join: the bag is tagged through to your final destination, the published minimum connecting time is your protection, and a weather cancellation on the domestic leg obliges them to re-accommodate you. Buy them separately — which is what almost every price-sorted search result encourages — and you own all of it: bag reclaim, a second check-in, no protection if leg one slips, and an OFW baggage uplift that does not extend to a feeder the international carrier never sold you. On a weather-exposed field the single-ticket rule matters more than anywhere else, because the cancellation you are insuring against is the likely one, not the rare one.

Domestic-only airport — for international, transit via MNL (NAIA) or CEB (Mactan).

Roxas Airport has no scheduled international flights as of 2026-05-09. Kabayan na pa-Gulf, Asia, or Korea, kailangan ng connecting flight via MNL or CEB international gateways.

OFW + balikbayan tips

0 international corridors are catalogued from RXS, so an overseas departure from here always begins with a domestic leg to a gateway. That leg decides whether an OFW baggage uplift survives the transfer: it only does when both legs are sold on a single ticket.

Networks reachable through the carriers based here:

• Philippine Airlines — 41 international destinations catalogued from Philippine airports.
• Cebu Pacific — 29 international destinations catalogued from Philippine airports.

This is the practical reason to check the operating carrier before the price. Where the domestic operator out of RXS also flies the international sector, a through fare is usually available and the whole journey travels on one contract. Where it does not, you are relying on an interline agreement between two airlines, and if none exists, the cheapest-looking combination is two unconnected purchases. The gap only shows itself when something goes wrong, which is precisely when you have no leverage left to fix it.

Domestic-only ang RXS — para sa international, palaging via MNL. Mga taga-Capiz na OFW karamihan dumadaan sa NAIA T1/T3. May DMW office sa Roxas City para sa OEC processing. Para sa balikbayan box porters, casual culture sa RXS — PHP 50-150 lang per box. Tip: kapag galing Capiz, alternative ang Iloilo (ILO) airport — mas marami international options pero longer land travel.

Terminals & getting there

2 carriers are based at RXS (RPVR), serving Roxas City, Capiz in Western Visayas (Region VI). One ticket makes the connection the airline’s problem; two tickets make the bag reclaim, the second check-in and every consequence of a late first flight yours.

Terminal assignments and ground-transport prices change without much notice, so treat any published figure — including ours — as something to re-check on the airport’s own channels the week you travel. What does not change is the structure of the risk. If your onward flight departs from a different terminal, the connecting time you need is the airport’s published minimum plus the inter-terminal transfer, and on a separate ticket you also need immigration, baggage reclaim and a fresh check-in inside that window. Build the buffer against the worst leg, not the average one. The single cheapest insurance available on a RXS connection is booking both legs on one ticket, which converts a missed connection from your problem into the airline’s.

Small single terminal in Roxas City. Domestic only. Pamasahe via tricycle/multicab from Roxas City downtown: PHP 30-80, very malapit (5-10 mins). Walang formal taxi service. Parking minimal.

Being specific about provenance is the only way a page like this earns trust, so: every figure above is read from a file in this project rather than from an airline’s marketing page. Frequencies are schedule estimates compiled from public timetable snapshots — Frequencies are estimates from public schedule data; flight hours are scheduled block times. Indirect-only corridors flagged where no nonstop exists. Flight hours are scheduled block times, gate to gate, not time in the air. Fares are cache floors: the lowest one-way the Travelpayouts feed returned for a pair at the moment it was polled, for one date and one fare class, excluding checked baggage where the carrier sells it separately. Baggage allowances and OFW uplifts come from the carrier programme records in this project and are the figure to confirm at booking, because an airline can change a programme without changing a timetable. Where a number is missing we leave it out rather than estimate it.
