Dipolog Cheap Flights - DPL

Diplog Airport (DPL) serves the capital of Zamboanga del Norte, Dipolog City. The Philippine airport was established during World War II. Here’s how the story goes: In the late 1930s, as the waters off Dipolog were too rough for ships to anchor, a local government official became determined to find a better way to involve his city in trading activities. So, he finally decided that an airfield would do the trick by providing sure access. Thus the Dipolog airfield was established.

In 1944, American forces came into the peninsula during the war. And since then, flights to Dipolog Airport (DPL) continue to carry many Americans, but these now are tourists not soldiers.

There are improvements each year as more commercial flights use Dipolog Airport (DPL), but it is still a somewhat basic facility. Even so, travelers will find currency services, a cafe, and even a tourism information desk. Outside the terminal, “trikes” or motorcycles with an attached sidecar for two people are lined up. Visitors should agree upon a fare before getting in. The bigger hotels can arrange for a van or car to pick you up at the airport.

Travelers can reach Dipolog by air from Cebu and Manila. Cebu Pacific, Air Philippines, and Philippine Airlines offer regular flights to Dipolog Airport (DPL).
