## Description

Mindanao's role as the Philippines' fruit basket shapes the freight profile of Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO). Serving Davao City, it is the busiest airport on Mindanao and the third busiest nationwide by passengers, with cargo capacity rated at roughly 84,600 tonnes per year. The dominant traffic is perishable agricultural produce — Cavendish bananas, pineapples, pomelos and seafood — flown to Japan, South Korea, China and Gulf markets. Most of this volume moves in the belly holds of Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific services, supplemented by transfers through Manila and Cebu. Road links along the Pan-Philippine Highway connect the airport to inland plantations and to the Port of Davao, enabling combined air–sea routing. Customs clearance runs through the Bureau of Customs, with a dedicated cargo zone at the terminal. While the bulk of the region's banana exports travel by sea, air freight captures the high-value, time-critical and most perishable consignments.
