Francisco Bangoy International Airport — Davao, Philippines

Francisco Bangoy International Airport, which carries the code DVO, serves Davao City, the largest city by land area in the Philippines and the commercial anchor of the Mindanao region. Named for a civic leader remembered for advancing early aviation in the Davao area, the airport sits close enough to Mount Apo, the country's highest peak, that clear-weather departures often afford passengers sweeping views of its forested slopes. Long associated with Rodrigo Duterte's decades as Davao's mayor before his presidency, the city and its airport benefited from sustained local investment, helping DVO grow into one of the busiest airports outside Luzon and the Visayas. The terminal handles a mix of domestic connections to Manila and Cebu alongside a smaller number of international routes within East Asia. Davao's durian orchards, banana plantations, and pearl farms make the region an important agricultural export hub backed by the airport's cargo operations.
