Mandurriao Airport (IATA: ILO, ICAO: RPVI), also known as Iloilo Airport during its operation, was an airport that served the area of Iloilo City and the province of Iloilo in the Philippines. The airport was located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northwest of downtown Iloilo City in the district of Mandurriao. It was the fourth-busiest airport overall and the busiest domestic airport in the Philippines, accommodating over 700,000 passengers and over 5,000 tons of cargo in 2005.[1] During the construction of the new Iloilo International Airport, it was also known as Iloilo-Mandurriao Airport.

Having been in service since the 1930s, Mandurriao Airport has since been replaced by the Iloilo International Airport located in the municipalities of Cabatuan and Santa Barbara, and was subsequently decommissioned on June 14, 2007. A sprawling business district, known as Iloilo Business Park occupies the airport site.
