Bagabag Airport (IATA: BGN, ICAO: RPUZ) is an airport serving the general area of the town of Bagabag, located in Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines. The airport is the only airport in Nueva Vizcaya and is classified as a secondary airport by the Air Transportation Office, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.The airport is presently handled by Mr. Leonardo R. Afan, Jr., the Officer in-charge.
It is also the closest airport to the Banaue Rice Terraces. However, it is currently impossible to fly there, as the airport is closed. Plans to reopen and expand the airport were discussed during the 2006 State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
