๐ข Terminal Information
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.

๐ข Terminal Information
Allah Valley Airport (AAV) in Surallah, Philippines, functions as a small regional air facility primarily serving the South Cotabato region, typically handling general aviation, private charters, and occasional local flights. Crucially, the airport *does not currently host scheduled commercial airlines*, meaning all air travel operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely basic, often consisting of a rudimentary structure or a designated open area for passenger staging. The layout is minimalist, offering direct access from the small ground area to the tarmac and aircraft. There are no interconnected terminals or complex ground facilities; all operations are conducted within this singular, basic setup. Walking times are negligible, usually mere seconds from arrival to aircraft, emphasizing its functional role for regional connectivity.\n\nSecurity procedures at AAV are minimal, consistent with its classification as a small, regional airfield not serving scheduled commercial traffic. Formal security checkpoints with advanced screening equipment are not present. Security is typically a matter of visual checks, adherence to local aviation safety protocols, and direct coordination with pilots or charter operators. There are no significant wait times for any checks. As a domestic airfield, there are no immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be handled at larger, designated international entry points if applicable. Passengers should expect a highly informal and direct process, reflecting the very low volume of air traffic and the nature of non-scheduled flights.\n\nAmenities at Allah Valley Airport are exceptionally sparse. Passengers should not expect any airline lounges, dedicated dining facilities, or retail shops. Any available provisions would be extremely limited, possibly from a very basic local vendor nearby, and travelers are strongly advised to bring all necessary supplies, including food, water, and personal items. Seating in the waiting area is basic and often outdoors, and very limited. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access. Travelers requiring assistance must coordinate thoroughly in advance with their air operator or local contacts. Family facilities, such as play areas or nursing rooms, are entirely absent. The airstrip's main purpose is essential regional access and charter services, not passenger comfort or convenience.
