## Description

RPME in ICAO, BXU to forwarders — Bancasi Airport is the gateway by air for Butuan and the Caraga region of northern Mindanao. Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific link it to Manila and Cebu, with cargo carried only in the holds of these passenger flights. There is no standalone freight terminal or freighter handling here, so the airport plays no structural part in scheduled air cargo. Timber, farm produce and mining output from Caraga move through nearby seaports and through the cargo centres at Manila and Cebu. Forwarders shipping from Butuan should budget for that detour via the hubs.
