[[Loakan Airport]] is the lone airport serving the general area of Baguio. The airport is classified as a trunkline airport, or a major commercial domestic airport, by the [[Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines]]. Major commercial operations to Baguio however ceased after [[Philippine Airlines]] closed their Baguio route in 1998. There were attempts to reopen Baguio routes throughout the following two decades by different airline operators such as [[Asian Spirit]] and [[Sky Pasada]] but none were able to sustain continuous operation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabreza |first=Vincent |title=Ibaloy folk brace for change as Baguio flights resume |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1703147/ibaloy-folk-brace-for-change-as-baguio-flights-resume |access-date=December 16, 2022}}</ref> Commercial flights resumed in 2022 with Philippine Airlines (operated by [[PAL Express]]) operating Baguio–Cebu flights and vice versa but operations was halted by Philippine Airlines in July 2024 because of poor passenger traffic.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabreza |first=Vincent |date=December 16, 2022 |title=Maiden flight of Baguio-Cebu route lands at Summer Capital's only airport |work=Inquirer |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1705876/maiden-flight-of-baguio-cebu-route-lands-at-summer-capitals-only-airport |access-date=December 16, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dumlao |first=Artemio |title=PAL to halt Baguio-Cebu flights |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2024/05/31/2359374/pal-halt-baguio-cebu-flights |access-date=2024-07-26 |website=Philstar.com}}</ref>

The airport is located south of the city center. Due to the limited length of the runway, being only {{cvt|1,802|m}} long, it is restricted to commuter size aircraft. The airport is used primarily by helicopters, turbo-prop and piston engine aircraft, although on rare occasions light business jets (LBJ) have flown into the airport.

[[Jeepney]]s and [[Taxicab|taxis]] are the main means of public transportation in the city. The government's push for jeepney modernization has led to an increase of modern EURO 4 compliant PUVs plying Baguio's center. The rollout however for full jeepney modernization had been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several bus lines linking Baguio with [[Manila]], [[Bontoc, Mountain Province|Bontoc]], [[Mariveles, Bataan|Mariveles]], [[Olongapo]], [[Cabanatuan]], and provinces such as [[Pangasinan]], [[Pampanga]], [[Bataan]],<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabreza |first=Vincent |date=December 16, 2020 |title=Bus firms resuming Baguio trips |language=en |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1372116/bus-firms-resuming-baguio-trips |access-date=September 14, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201216002601/https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1372116/bus-firms-resuming-baguio-trips |archive-date=December 16, 2020}}</ref> [[Nueva Ecija]], [[Aurora (province)|Aurora]], [[Cavite]], [[La Union]], [[Nueva Vizcaya]] and those in the Ilocos regions.

From Metro Manila, Baguio is accessible via [[NLEX]] (from Bulacan to Pampanga), [[SCTEX]] (Pampanga to Tarlac) and [[TPLEX]] (from Tarlac to La Union). The three main access roads leading to Baguio from the lowlands are [[Kennon Road]] (formerly known as the ''Benguet Road''),<ref name="Inquirer2">{{Cite news |last=Cabreza |first=Vincent |date=May 16, 2012 |title=Fighting for century-old Kennon Road |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |publisher=Inquirer Northern Luzon |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/194077/fighting-for-century-old-kennon-road |access-date=February 29, 2016 |quote=The colonial government decided then that constructing the Benguet Road (Kennon Road's original name) would provide the Americans a short route up the Benguet mountains. ...

=====HoHo Bus=====
In an effort to address traffic congestion and the lack of car parking at tourist spots in the city, Baguio operates a free bus shuttle service called the '''Hop On, Hop Off (HoHo) Tourist Bus'''. Through a [[park and ride]] scheme, the service encourages tourists with private vehicles to park their vehicles at the Baguio Convention Center (BCC) for a fee and ride the bus to various tourists sites free of charge.<ref name="Aquino2022HoHoBus">{{Cite news |last=Aquino |first=Leira |date=July 14, 2022 |title=Baguio to revive Hop on, Hop off bus.

* Monorail - A monorail project from Baguio to La Trinidad is being mulled over by the SSS as a possible investment in CAR. It is seen to further boost tourism and decongest traffic. The project is similar to the one installed by the Department of Science and Technology at the UP Campus in 2012.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dumlao-Abadilla |first=Doris |title=Baguio monorail also on SSS' shopping list |language=en |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url=https://business.inquirer.net/244102/baguio-monorail-also-sss-shopping-list |access-date=July 18, 2019}}</ref>
