But Theres no direct route from Ajuy to Roxas City. If you passed via Sara you have stop over and then drop in Balasan up to 1 hour, wait for 30 minutes for a trip out to Pilar , into its tedious trip to Roxas that it takes another 1:30 hours and the elapsed time is longer like 3 hours. But if you take Santa barbara Route…you have easy Bus Ride to Iloilo City at 1 and half hours and fast 30 Minutes to Santa Barbara…. so nearest is not always the fastest shortest and most convenient to the AirportReply Denn saysDecember 13, 2011 at 12:38 amWhat is the nearest airport in Ajuy, Iloilo?Reply toto saysMay 27, 2010 at 12:32 amI am a native of Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo and I’m working in Dubai for a couple of years now.
