The short runway, frequent low visibility and dilapidated structures along with deep ravines on both ends of the runway continue to challenge commercial operation at the airport.

PAL suspended flights into Baguio in 1998 as part of a company downsizing. In the next year, commercial airline service into Baguio resumed with service from Asian Spirit Airlines, which later became Zest Airways. Commercial air service into Loakan Airport was again discontinued in 2012.
