Laguindingan International Airport is the brand new airport serving the cities Cagayan de Oro (CDO) and Iligan and the provinces Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte. The airport opened in 2013 at a cost of almost 8 billion peso (US$ 160 million).
The airport became the first international designated airport in the region although so far there are no international flights to Laguidingan although direct flights to Seoul are planned for considering the large South Korean presence in the area. Laguindingan Airport can accommodate four airplane movements per hour and approximately one million passengers annually.
Laguindingan International Airport is not a large airport so there are not many flights departing here. There are only a few destinations that you can reach from Laguindingan International Airport, most of these are operated by Cebu Pacific Air. Many people take a flight to Manila and transfer to another flight there.
