True! The shipping industry was thriving until Cebu Pacific introduced the route. The travel time was shortened to more than 30 minutes. Very convenient.

The cities of Davao, General Santos and Zamboanga are served by international airports. These cities are Mindanao’s gateways to the rest of the country and its Asian neighbors. In 2005, volume of cargo has increased by about 8 percent in these three airports, with Davao having the biggest share of 60 percent (DOTC).Among all these airports, Davao International Airport is the busiest and accounts for about 50 percent of passenger traffic in Mindanao (DOTC). Zamboanga’s area of influence includes the Sulu archipelago, and serves as the gateway to Southeast Asia.
Development Potentials and Challenges

Apart from these international airports, the most strategic airports with large areas of influence needing expansion and improvement include Zamboanga, General Santos, Cotabato and Butuan. The Butuan airport also needs improvement because of its high passenger growth rate. Butuan Airport serves the entire CARAGA region, which has been identified as the agroforestry and mineral center of Mindanao. Its areas of influence include the provinces of Surigao del Sur, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Sur.

Q400s are faster than the A320.
