Only Ayala-owned Airswift flies in and out from Lio airport. Airport staff are courteous and friendly. Arrivals and departures are almost always on time. Airport management seems effective as the place is clean and with streamlined processing of passengers. Arrivals are just a hassle due to the very narrow and small driveway to pick up passengers. Maybe make a system for resort van pick ups?

Beautiful airport. Security was smooth to get through. The staff were friendly. They still make you wear masks in the waiting area and plane, but not through security or while checking into your flight. (March 2023) hopefully they change that and remove the masking. There is a small cafe with decent coffee in the waiting area which is nice.

El Nido airport is small and usually caters to direct flights of Air Swift from Manila to El Nido. It is more expensive but highly recommended than the six-hour van trip from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. It is comfortable and near the Lio Beach so you get a good view of El Nido.

Not so big of an airport but it conveniently serves its purpose. Barely have restaurants at the airport, just a few small kiosks with limited selection at, of course, airport prices.
Staff of AirSwift airlines (not so sure if this is the only airline here) are courteous and accommodating.
I intentionally brought a lighter with me, thinking that i can dispose of it once i get to the boarding area. Upon checking at the x-ray machine, my luggage and other bags passed without a question or confiscating it. To my surprise, it was the only screening machine that I had to pass through then the next one was already boarding the gate. I went to the comfort room and threw away the lighter before i got on the plane.
I hope they have more strict security checking for peace of mind and everyone's safety.
