Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (IATA: MPH, ICAO: RPVE), also known as Caticlan Airport and Boracay Airport, is an international airport serving the general area of the municipality of Malay, located in the province of Aklan in the Philippines. It is one of the two gateways to Boracay, the other being Kalibo International Airport in Kalibo.
The airport is the fourth-busiest airport in the Philippines and the busiest in the Western Visayas region, serving 3.8 million passengers in 2023.
Since November 7, 2012, the airport has been named after the late Godofredo P. Ramos, a former congressman who is known as the "Father of Aklan" as he authored a house bill proposing the separation of Aklan from the province of Capiz that was later approved in 1956. However, the name Caticlan Airport derives from its location in the barangay of Caticlan in the municipality of Malay.
