This airport in Caticlan, on the island of Panay, is one of two gateways to the premier beach getaway of Boracay, a short boat ride away. But, Panay has much more to offer the visitor willing to explore.

At the time of our visit for this wamark, Februray 2011, the airport terminal was undergoing major construction, as shown in the photos, and was actually closed. All passengers and luggage were unloaded on the tarmac and exited through a small gate. The ultimate goal seems to be for an international airport and facilities, similar to its sister airport in Kalibo. For now it retains its atmosphere of a small rural island airport, with its collection of street vendors and tricycles.
Godofredo Ramos was a congressman whose legislative bill in 1955 resulted in the formation of the province of Aklan from Capiz. He was the first elected governor of the new province and is often called "the father of Aklan." This airport in his home town is named in his honor.
