We were in Cagayan de Oro last April and I took the opportunity to take photos at the airport. The airport, of course, is no longer in Cagayan de Oro (the old one has been closed). It is now in Laguindingan town, which 30 to 60 minutes from CDO depending on the time of day and how aggressive your driver is. Laguindingan retained CDO as its code.

Exit from the arrival area – there is a CAAP Assistance Desk here

Driveway and crossing for passengers

The main driveway is currently reserved for VIPs. All other vehicles are required to go to the parking lot across from the terminal.

Passengers need to cross to the parking lot where their fetchers await them or where they can book a vehicle to take them to their destinations.

People waiting for passengers. Most of these are fetching (sundo) relatives, friends or clients arriving at the airport.

Transport services await passengers at the parking area. In other airports, these are located near the arrival exit. They are here probably due to security concerns. One can easily book a vehicle (usually a car or van) from Laguindingan Airport to typical destinations like Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City.

Personnel of various transport service companies call for passengers to attract them to their booths. Others are drivers of rented vehicles, waiting for their clients to appear.
