## Description

Bangsamoro Airways, a Cotabato-based carrier launched in 2024, is the airline keeping Jolo Airport (IATA: JOL, ICAO: RPMJ) connected, serving the Philippine island province of Sulu with turboprop regional flights from Cotabato and Zamboanga (ZAM). The 1,845-metre concrete runway and the recently completed passenger terminal are sized for that traffic, not for freighters. There is no cargo terminal, no dedicated freight flight and no air-cargo customs post; shipments travel at most as belly cargo on the regional aircraft. Goods for the Sulu archipelago move overwhelmingly by sea, with coastal vessels and ferries from Zamboanga calling at the port of Jolo. International air freight is therefore delivered into Zamboanga (ZAM) and forwarded by ship, with Davao (DVO) and Manila (MNL) acting as the wider gateways. Anyone planning shipments into Sulu should factor in the province's tense security situation, which affects schedules and insurance cover.
