Kalibo International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Kalibo) (IATA: KLO, ICAO: RPVK) is an airport that serves the general area of Kalibo, the capital of the province of Aklan in the Philippines. The airport is classified as an international airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications responsible for the operations of all airports in the Philippines except major international airports. Previously, it had the distinction of being the only domestic airport in the Philippines that serves international flights.

The airport is about ten minutes from the main plaza of Kalibo, and is one of two airports serving Boracay, the other being Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in the town of Malay.

Future expansion

Terminal Building.

On March 31, 2008, construction of the airport much-awaited new terminal building has already commenced. The said construction is part of the 130-million peso fund promised by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2007 for the upgrading of the airport which is being geared to become an international landmark for tourism. The package includes 80 million pesos for the new terminal, while 50 million was released last year by the Department of Budget and Management for the installation of an Instrument Landing System (ILS).^[2]
