Davao International Airport, also known as Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO), is the primary airport serving Davao City, the largest city in the Philippines. The airport is located in the city’s Malagos district, about 15 kilometers from the city center. It is the second busiest airport in the country, handling over 2 million passengers a year.

Named after the late Davao City mayor, Francisco Bangoy, the airport was built in the 1950s. At the time, it was the only airport in the city, and the only way for travelers to reach the city. By the 1970s, the airport had expanded significantly, and it continued to experience growth over the years. In 2006, Davao International Airport was remodeled and modernized, with a new terminal building and a longer runway, allowing bigger and more efficient aircraft to land and take off.

The airport code, DVO, is derived from the first two letters of the city's name. The airport is served by a number of domestic airlines, including Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and AirAsia Philippines. The airport has around 10 flights per day, and over 50 domestic and international routes.

The airport serves as an important hub for the region, connecting Davao City to the rest of the Philippines, as well as to other countries in the region. It is also a popular destination for tourists, who visit the city for its beaches, mountains, and other attractions.

The airport is known for its efficient and friendly service, and for its safety standards, which have been praised by international aviation organizations. It is also known for its wide range of facilities, including a modern terminal building, a parking lot, restaurants, and shopping outlets.

The airport is well connected to the rest of the city, with several bus and jeepney routes connecting the airport to the city center. There are also several car rental companies operating at the airport, which offer a convenient way for travelers to get around.

Overall, Davao International Airport is an important part of the city’s infrastructure and economy, providing efficient and safe air travel to thousands of passengers every day.
