## Description

Tourism fills the seats at Francisco B. Reyes Airport (IATA: USU, ICAO: RPVV) while freight remains a by-product: the Philippine civil aviation authority counted 42,255 passengers but only some 1,771 tonnes of cargo in 2021. The airport sits on Busuanga in northern Palawan and is the air gateway to Coron and the Calamian Islands, a wreck-diving and lagoon destination. Its concrete runway of roughly 1,225 metres admits turboprops only; there is no cargo terminal, no freighter operation and no dedicated customs office on site. AirSWIFT, Cebgo, Philippine Airlines and Sunlight Air served the field with about 119 weekly flights from Manila and Cebu as of November 2025, rising in peak season. Consignments for the islands therefore travel as belly cargo on those passenger flights, or by sea from Manila once volume or weight rules out aircraft. Shippers needing customs clearance, dangerous goods handling or a cold chain plan through Manila-Ninoy Aquino (MNL) or Clark (CRK) and cover the last leg by feeder flight or vessel.
