The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has commenced a major expansion of the passenger terminal at Davao International Airport to accommodate growing traffic, especially for international flights. The PHP700 million project, which began three months ago, will add approximately 8,000 square meters of floor space and is slated for completion by November 2026.
The expansion will increase the capacity of the international pre-departure area by 700 passengers and aims to attract more foreign airline operators. The upgraded terminal will also feature additional concession areas and enhanced facilities for customs, immigration, and quarantine—essential for handling international travelers more efficiently.
