Cesar Lim Rodriguez Airport [1] (Filipino : Paliparang Cesar Lim Rodriguez; Hiligaynon : Hulugpaan sang Cesar Lim Rodriguez; IATA : RZP, ICAO : RPSD), commonly known as Taytay Airport, [2] [lower-alpha 1] is an airport serving the general area of Taytay, located in the province of Palawan in the Philippines. The facility was named after Taytay native Cesar Lim Rodriguez, a former judge [5] who donated part of his property for the airport.

Contents

The airport is owned by the province of Palawan. [4] Recent interest in improving the infrastructure in this airport is due to its strategic location in the northern part of the Palawan mainland: the renowned beach resorts of the area (including El Nido and Apulit Island) and the historic town of Taytay are only 30 to 40 kilometers by road from the airport. [3] In comparison, the only other airport capable of handling large aircraft is located in the provincial capital of Puerto Princesa, approximately 230 kilometers to the south. [1]

In 2013, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) approved a ₱48.2-million budget for the airport's improvement, consisting of the concreting of a runway 1,100 meters long and 18 meters wide. [1]

In February 2016, the Palawan Provincial Board approved a resolution to permit the semi-privatization of the airport through a public–private partnership (PPP). [3] The DOTC allotted ₱8.8 million for the airport's development for the year 2016. [2]
