🏢 Terminal Information
Loakan Airport (BAG) serves Baguio City, famously known as the 'Summer Capital' of the Philippines, nestled in the Cordillera Central mountain range of Luzon. This regional airport is a crucial air link for the high-altitude city, primarily handling domestic flights that connect to Manila, often operated by Philippine Airlines. Due to its challenging location and operational constraints, including a relatively short runway and frequent fog, commercial service can be limited. The terminal building is a small, functional structure, providing essential services for the moderate volume of passengers.\n\nSecurity procedures at BAG are in line with Philippine aviation regulations. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage screening and personal checks. Given the airport's size and flight volume, check-in and security processes are generally quick. Boarding is conducted by walking directly to the aircraft on the apron, as there are no jet bridges. Due to its high elevation and the mountain weather patterns, fog often rolls in during the afternoon, and turbulence can be experienced, leading to potential delays or cancellations. It is advisable to arrive with ample time for check-in and to reconfirm flight statuses, especially during the rainy season.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are limited but cater to basic needs. There is usually a small waiting area with seating and restrooms. Travelers might find a small kiosk offering beverages and light snacks, but extensive dining or retail options are not available. For ground transportation, taxis are typically available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Baguio City center. The airport serves as an efficient gateway for exploring the cooler climate and scenic beauty of the Cordillera region.
