Under the new setup, the BARMM will manage the Cotabato Airport and five others, but air control will remain under CAAP.
COTABATO, Philippines – Bangsamoro officials on Wednesday, January 11, said the regional government would work to upgrade and make all six airports in the region operational, a day after the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines turned over these to them.
Of the BARMM’s six airports, only the airport in Maguindanao del Norte, Sanga-Sanga Airport in Bongao in Tawi-Tawi, and Jolo Airport in Sulu are operational. Dionisio Robles, CAAP intelligence and investigation division chief, gave the BARMM a plaque that symbolized the turnover of the six airports to the regional government during a ceremony at the Awang Airport in Datu Odin Sinsuat town on Tuesday, January 10.
