History
In May 1952, the Philippine Senate discussed plans to improve Cauayan Airport along with Luena Airport and Catarman Airport, with a total budget allocation of ₱200,000.
On November 5, 1967, President Ferdinand Marcos visited Cauayan Airport to meet with farmer representatives from the province of Isabela. The discussion centered on Irrigation and other agricultural concerns, after which the President returned to Manila.
From 1999 to 2008, the airport did not host any commercial flights. Several proposals were made to restore service, including a Manila–Cauayan route and an extended route to Tuguegarao Airport. After nearly a decade without commercial operations, Cauayan Airport reopened on August 15, 2008, with PAL Express flights, marking the return of Philippine Airlines to the city after suspending its services in 1994. Today, Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines operates Airbus A320 aircraft on the Manila–Cauayan–Manila route.
The airport has since undergone renovations and has been night-rated, enabling both landings and takeoffs during nighttime operations.
