Nonstop service is available, with a typical flight time of 1 hour 20 minutes on Cebu Pacific (5J) and 1 hour 45 minutes on Cebgo (DG). The return leg from Iloilo back to Davao takes about 1 hour 25 minutes, making the outbound direction slightly faster.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC.

Metered taxis are available outside the terminal, and the ride to central Iloilo takes around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. There is no direct rail or mass transit link from the airport, but local jeepneys and buses do serve the nearby highway for a much cheaper, albeit slower, option. Car rentals are available at the airport but are less common for point-to-point city transfers.

Metered taxis are available and generally a bit cheaper than ride‑share, though Grab offers upfront pricing and convenience. There is no direct public bus or rail link, but jeepneys and multicabs serve Sasa and Buhangin near the airport, requiring a short walk or tricycle transfer—this is the cheapest option but considerably slower.
