Dilasag Airport (DSG)

Dilasag Airport (DSG, reference code PH-0573) serves the remote northernmost municipality of Dilasag in Aurora Province, Philippines, positioned at 60 feet elevation along the Pacific coast in one of the province's most isolated and least developed areas. The airport operates as a small coastal airstrip providing essential aviation access to this pristine white-sand beach community that remains largely untouched by mass tourism and modern infrastructure development. The facility features basic airstrip infrastructure without navigational aids, operating primarily for emergency services, government flights, and occasional charter operations serving the municipality's approximately 16,000 residents who have limited road access due to the town's remote Pacific coastline location. Unlike other Aurora Province municipalities, Dilasag relies on independent power generation rather than regional grid connections, highlighting its isolation and the airport's importance as a transportation lifeline. Operational considerations include potentially seasonal access restrictions, advance coordination requirements for landing permissions, and limited ground services typical of remote Philippine provincial airstrips. The airport serves as a crucial link for Dilasag's fishing communities, agricultural producers, and eco-tourism operations showcasing the area's unspoiled natural beauty, pristine beaches, and traditional Filipino coastal lifestyle preserved by the town's geographic isolation from major transportation corridors.
