Gateway to the Heart-Shaped Island of Marinduque.
Location
Gasan, Philippines
Marinduque Airport (IATA: MRQ, ICAO: RPUW) is a domestic airport serving the province of Marinduque in the Philippines, located near the municipality of Gasan on the island's western coast. The airport provides vital air connectivity to this relatively remote island province, which is often celebrated for its famous Moriones Festival held during Holy Week.
The airport operates limited scheduled domestic flights, primarily linking Marinduque to Manila. Its runway and facilities are modest, consistent with the low passenger volume of the island. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) oversees its operations.
Marinduque is nicknamed the 'Heart of the Philippines' due to its roughly heart-shaped geography. Air travel remains an important alternative to the ferry services connecting the island to Luzon, particularly during peak travel seasons.
