Gateway to Caraga Region in northeastern Mindanao.

Location

Butuan, Philippines

Bancasi Airport, designated by IATA code BXU and ICAO code RPME, serves Butuan City, the regional center of Caraga in northeastern Mindanao, Philippines. It is a domestic airport managed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and handles scheduled passenger services connecting Butuan to Manila and other key Philippine cities. The airport is located in Barangay Bancasi, within Butuan City, and sits at a relatively low elevation near the Agusan River basin. It plays a vital economic role for the Caraga region, supporting commerce, agriculture, and tourism in the area. Due to its relatively short runway and aging infrastructure, the airport has faced capacity and operational limitations, and improvement projects have been periodically discussed to accommodate growing passenger demand in the region.
