Sibulan Airport (DGT)

Sibulan Airport (DGT), also known as Dumaguete Airport, is the primary gateway to the province of Negros Oriental in the Philippines. Located in the municipality of Sibulan, just a few kilometers north of Dumaguete City, the airport facilitates vital domestic connections to Manila and Cebu. As a key entry point for tourists visiting the famous dive sites of Apo Island and the sandbars of Bais, the airport manages a steady flow of travelers throughout the year. The terminal building underwent a significant expansion and modernization project in 2021, which greatly improved the pre-departure area and passenger flow. Travelers at DGT can now enjoy updated amenities, including multiple charging ports for electronic devices, clean restrooms equipped with bidets, and free drinking water stations. A notable convenience at this airport is the streamlined security process, where passengers are often not required to remove laptops from their bags during scanning. For those looking to relax before their flight, local massage services are frequently available within the terminal area. Dining and retail options at Sibulan Airport are primarily focused on local favorites and essential travel goods, with several small restaurants and kiosks located both inside and outside the terminal building. Transportation to and from the airport is readily available via tricycles, taxis, and jeepneys, with the ride to downtown Dumaguete taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes. While the airport currently exclusively handles domestic flights operated by carriers such as Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and AirAsia, it remains a bustling and efficient facility that reflects the warm hospitality of the "City of Gentle People."
