Antique province's gateway airport in the Philippines.
Location
San Jose, Philippines
Evelio Javier Airport, designated with IATA code EUQ and ICAO code RPVS, serves San Jose, the capital of Antique province on the island of Panay in the Philippines. The airport provides air access to this western Visayas province, which was historically underserved in terms of air connectivity.
The airport is named after Evelio Javier, a prominent Filipino politician and governor of Antique who was assassinated in 1986. It is operated under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and serves primarily domestic routes connecting Antique to Manila and other Philippine cities.
Due to its relatively short runway and limited infrastructure, the airport handles smaller turboprop aircraft. Flight operations have been intermittent over the years depending on airline interest and demand from the province.

The airport has a single small terminal building serving domestic passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into San Jose and the broader Antique province is primarily via tricycles, jeepneys, and vans for hire.
