## Description

Roughly 49,755 tonnes of air cargo moved through Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO/RPMD) in Davao, Philippines, in 2025, up 2.8% year on year. As Mindanao's busiest airport, DVO functions as the island's main air freight gateway, though current throughput still sits well below its designed annual capacity of about 84,600 tonnes. A new temperature-controlled cargo centre of roughly 15,000 square metres is under construction for perishables such as durian, bananas and flowers, reportedly entering partial operation from mid-2026. A separate, broader terminal expansion – including a dedicated cargo wing with a new handling system and carousel – is targeted for completion by the end of 2026. No specific freighter operators or handling agents at DVO could be independently verified, so shippers should confirm current partners directly with the Davao International Airport Authority. For intercontinental freight connections, Manila (MNL), about 1,500 kilometres to the north, remains the nearest major international hub, with Cebu (CEB) serving as a regional alternative. Despite the ongoing build-out, DVO remains the primary air cargo access point for Mindanao's perishable agricultural exports.
