## Description

Dormant for scheduled traffic for years, Mati National Airport (MXI) is being rebuilt: a first upgrade phase worth about PHP 87 million began in February 2025, widening the runway and expanding the apron and terminal, with the new terminal due in 2026. The Philippines' Department of Transportation aims to ready the field for turboprop scheduled flights by 2027. For now MXI — the only airport in Davao Oriental, classed as a secondary field by the CAAP — handles only charter and light-aircraft movements, so belly freight is effectively unavailable. Forwarders moving goods to or from this corner of southeastern Mindanao route air cargo through Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao (DVO), roughly 150 km west by road. The surrounding province is known for Pujada Bay and its pomelo and coconut farms.
