Cotabato (Awang) Airport — Datu Odin Sinsuat, Philippines

Cotabato Airport, commonly called Awang Airport for the town where it sits in Datu Odin Sinsuat, provides central Mindanao's Cotabato City with domestic air links to Manila, Cebu, and other Philippine hubs. The surrounding Maguindanao province has experienced decades of conflict tied to a regional autonomy movement, and the airport has periodically felt the effects of security concerns even as it has continued functioning as an essential transport node for the local population. Cotabato City itself sits along the Rio Grande de Mindanao, serving as a commercial and administrative center for a predominantly Muslim Filipino population within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region. A single runway handles narrow-body turboprops and regional jets typical of Philippine domestic aviation, and continued investment in the terminal reflects hopes of keeping growing passenger demand satisfied at CBO.
