## Description

Barangay Awang in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte, hosts Cotabato Airport (CBO), the main scheduled gateway for the mainland part of the Bangsamoro autonomous region (BARMM), where freight moves purely as belly load. Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific work the roughly 1,800-metre asphalt runway to Manila, Cebu and Davao; no freighter operations or dedicated air cargo terminal are confirmed. A PHP 340-million runway and terminal rehabilitation shut the field for about three months in 2023, with commercial services returning on 1 October 2023 and weekend repair work continuing into 2024. In December 2025 members of the Bangsamoro Parliament filed a bill for full modernisation, explicitly including upgraded cargo and logistics facilities alongside a longer runway. Shippers in central Mindanao that need planned airfreight capacity still route through Davao International (DVO), roughly 200 road kilometres east, with General Santos (GES) a further option. The nearby seaport of Polloc adds a maritime leg, leaving CBO as a feeder and reference point rather than a handling station.
