Legazpi Airport (IATA: LGP, ICAO: RPLP) was a major airport in the Bicol Region, serving the vicinity of Legazpi, the capital city of Albay, in the Philippines. The airport could handle medium-sized civilian jets and military aircraft.
Although operating as sunrise-sunset (SR-SS) due to lack of an instrument landing system (ILS), the airport can handle night landings and take-off but only on prior notice. The airport was up for upgrading. Passengers were delayed and various flights were cancelled because the airfield cannot operate in inclement weather without an ILS system. The airport closed on October 7, 2021, and was replaced by the larger Bicol International Airport which is capable of operating at night. After the closure, the airport site is planned to be converted into a business district.
