Daet (Camarines Norte) Airport – Discover The Philippines

## Daet Airport (Bagasbas Airport): what you can verify before you plan

Daet Airport—also widely referenced as Bagasbas Airport—is a small public airport serving Daet, Camarines Norte, Philippines, located in Barangay Bagasbas.

If you’re considering using it as your entry point to the province, the smartest move is to separate stable facts (codes, runway, location) from fast-changing realities (commercial service, operating hours, closures, renovation timelines).

## Fast facts you can rely on

### Airport identifiers
– IATA: DTE
– ICAO: RPUD

### Location + setting
– City served: Daet, Camarines Norte
– Airport location: Barangay Bagasbas, Daet, Camarines Norte
– The mapped coordinates: 14.1320161, 122.9827202 (useful for map pins and offline navigation)

### Runway (the detail that determines what can operate)
– Runway: 06/24
– Length: 1,150 meters (3,773 ft)
– Surface: Asphalt
– Elevation: reported around 4 m / 13 ft

These specs matter because they put a hard ceiling on aircraft types and operational flexibility—especially in poor weather or with payload constraints.

## The part that changes: is it “operational” for passengers right now?

Here’s what public sources show—and what they don’t prove.

### What some travel-facing pages claim (likely to go stale)
A travel information page about Daet (Camarines Norte) Airport lists DTE and states there are no commercial flights, plus provides specific hours (8:00 AM–5:00 PM). That page is several years old, and it explicitly warns that details can change without notice. Treat this as not reliable without verification.

### What flight-tracking shows (useful signal, not a guarantee)
Flightradar24’s Daet Airport page currently displays a message indicating it doesn’t have flight information for the airport. This can happen when there’s no tracked traffic, limited data coverage, or no scheduled activity showing up in their system.

### A solid “process” clue from government records
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request page tied to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) references Daet (Bagasbas) Airport and indicates that some requested documents (like a feasibility study) were “not currently available,” while an airport profile was referenced as an attachment (the attachment wasn’t accessible from the portal at time of viewing). This confirms the airport is within CAAP’s administrative universe, but it does not confirm current passenger operations. Philippines

Bottom line: I can’t factually tell you “yes, you can fly commercially into Daet Airport today” based on the accessible evidence above. If your trip hinges on flying in, verify using an airline timetable or an official CAAP/local advisory close to departure.

## What to expect on arrival (based on aviation directories, not vibes)

Aviation directory data for RPUD lists operational characteristics that are relevant if you’re planning private aviation, coordination, or just setting expectations:
– Airport type: Civil
– Fuel availability: listed as NO FUEL
– Approaches: VFR
– Airport of entry: No

For travelers, the practical implication is simple: this is not positioned as a fully serviced, always-on commercial hub.

## Practical planning tips that won’t mislead you

### If you’re trying to use Daet Airport to “make everything easy”
That hope is understandable (and even echoed in the snippet you provided), but your plan should include a fallback:
– Treat DTE/RPUD as “possible but not guaranteed” until you confirm service.
– Build itineraries that still work if you need to arrive via another city and continue overland.

### Accessibility + inclusivity notes (what to check, not what to assume)
Small airports vary dramatically in accessibility features. If anyone in your party needs step-free access, mobility assistance, or sensory accommodations, confirm:
– Whether assistance is available by request
– How far vehicles can approach the terminal
– Whether there are accessible toilets and clear signage
(These items are not confirmed in the sources above, so they’re a pre-trip checklist, not claims.)
