Location

Cavite, Philippines

Danilo Atienza Air Base, designated IATA code SGL and ICAO RPLS, is a military airfield located in Cavite City on the western shore of Manila Bay in the Philippines. It serves primarily as a Philippine Air Force installation and is named after aviator Danilo Atienza, a Filipino military pilot. The base has historically supported military operations, search and rescue missions, and disaster-response activities in the Luzon region. Its proximity to Manila Bay and the greater Metro Manila area makes it strategically significant for both defense and humanitarian operations. While the airfield carries an IATA code suggesting some level of commercial recognition, it functions predominantly as a military facility with limited or no scheduled commercial passenger service.
