## Description

Where most airports measure success in tonnage, Basco Airport (BSO) measures it in connectivity to the outside world — it is the lifeline of the remote Batanes islands at the northern tip of the Philippines. Turboprops link the island to Manila and Clark, carrying a modest, tourism-led traffic. Air freight is negligible, limited to small consignments riding in the belly. For logistics purposes Basco is not a cargo point: shipments to and from Batanes are consolidated through Manila.
