Bancasi Airport — Butuan, Philippines

Bancasi Airport serves Butuan City on the northern coast of Mindanao in the Philippines. The runway here sits 141 feet up, a single strip that nonetheless connects Butuan to Manila and other major Philippine cities, functioning as the main air gateway for this part of the Caraga region. Butuan sits along the Agusan River, one of Mindanao's principal waterways, and serves as a commercial center for the surrounding agricultural and forestry-based economy. As Mindanao's air traffic has grown alongside the southern Philippines' economic development, BXU has remained a steady regional connector rather than a major hub, handling domestic routes that tie Caraga to the rest of the country.
