Davao City, Davao del Sur · Philippines · Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) — direct national-government operation; per CAAP's own FY2024 audited financial notes (issued June 2025, reiterating the Dec 31, 2023 position), CAAP "has yet to transfer" the airport to the Davao International Airport Authority (DIAA), the agency chartered for this purpose by Republic Act 11457 (signed 30 Aug 2019) to eventually manage Davao Region's airports. A 30-year Rehabilitate-Operate-Transfer privatization has advanced: on 4 Jun 2026, CAAP and DIAA jointly granted Original Proponent Status (OPS) to the Philippine Regional Airports Consortium — JG Summit Infrastructure Holdings (Gokongwei Group), Filinvest Infra-Solutions Ventures (Gotianun Group), and Asian Infrastructure and Management Corp. (AIMCO) — for a bundled Davao-Bicol-Siargao concession, with project cost since risen to roughly P21.6 billion from an initial P16.0 billion proposal; Singapore's Changi Airport Group was the other bidder. The award now proceeds to a comparative (Swiss) challenge phase awaiting Investment Coordination Committee approval, with no target date yet announced for its completion.
