## Description

An airport with an IATA code but no flights: Bagasbas Airport at Daet (DTE/RPUD), the only airfield in Camarines Norte province in the Philippine Bicol region, has been out of commercial service because of safety concerns and deteriorating infrastructure. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is rehabilitating the site and has signalled a return to operations, though no firm date is confirmed. Even before the shutdown there was no cargo handling, no freight terminal and no customs office for air cargo here - air freight simply is not part of the local picture. The province's exports, historically small-scale gold mining output plus abaca (Manila hemp) and coconut products, leave by truck along the Maharlika Highway and through the Bicol coastal ports. Air consignments are consolidated at Manila (MNL), roughly seven to eight hours away by road and the Philippines' principal cargo gateway with intercontinental capacity. Closer options that are actually operating are Naga (WNP) in Camarines Sur and Bicol International Airport at Legazpi (LGP), though neither offers dedicated freight infrastructure either.
