April 12, 2025

Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, is coordinating the phased handover of facilities, buildings, and land at Laguindingan International Airport, aligning with its long-term vision for the airport’s growth and modernization ahead of its official takeover in April 2025.

AIC’s long-term vision to enhance and modernize Laguindingan International Airport (the country’s sixth-busiest airport and Mindanao’s second-busiest after Davao City’s Francisco Bangoy International Airport), reinforcing its role as a vital gateway for Mindanao’s socio-economic and tourism growth and uplifting the lives of local residents in the process.

“We are committed to delivering an efficient and well-managed transition process that paves the way for the modernization of Laguindingan International Airport. Our goal is to enhance the gateway’s infrastructure and services to meet the growing demands of travelers and businesses,” said AIC President and Chief Executive Officer Cosette V. Canilao. “Our vision for Laguindingan International Airport is to create a world-class gateway that will drive economic progress and connectivity for Mindanao. This project is a key milestone in our goal of elevating Philippine aviation standards and delivering an exceptional Filipino brand of hospitality and service,” added Rafael M. Aboitiz, AIC Vice President for Airports Business.
