DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – Davao Oriental officials have started talks with national flag carrier Philippine Airlines to launch commercial flights in the province as they prepare to open the mothballed Mati Airport in early 2023.
She said they were joined by officials of the Department of Transportation , the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines , and major tour operators in the country during the meeting on Saturday, October 29. The airport, however, can only accommodate at this time 50- to 80-seat aircraft, C-130 planes, and lighter aircraft with its 1.5-kilometer runway, said Mati Airport officer-in-charge Sean Hannibal Jabile.The Mati Airport, once operational, would do away with about five hours of travel just to catch commercial flights at the nearest airport in Davao City.
