Beginning October 1, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) will administer the landside facilities of Maguindanao’s Awang Airport.

The Awang Airport, commonly known as the Cotabato Airport, is a domestic airport in Datu Odin Sinsuat, located in Barangay Awang.

Cotabato City, the provinces of North and South Cotabato, Lanao del Sur, and other nearby regions are presently served.

Officials from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), the Bangsamoro Airport Authority (BAA) of MOTC, and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) were set to wrap up a three-day joint inventory assessment of the airport on September 30 to determine which facilities will be devolved to BAA and which will be supervised by CAAP.

In an interview with media, BAA airport manager Carmencita Salik said, “The inventory team is here from the CAAP national office for the Oct. 1, 2021 handover of powers and duties, including facilities, of the landside portion of the airport.”

She explained that under Republic Act (RA) 11054, also known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law, only the landside activities would be delegated to BARMM, while the airside will remain under the supervision of the CAAP office.

“The Bangsamoro government shall have the authority to grant regional franchises, licenses, and permits to land, sea, and air transportation plying routes in the provinces or cities within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region: Provided, that the National Government shall regulate the airside operations of all existing airports,” according to Article 8, Section 37 of RA 11054.

The landside part of the Awang Airport consists of the terminal building, administrative building, concessionaires, collection inside the airport, and other facilities in the area between the airport’s border and boarding gates.

On the other hand, the CAAP will continue to oversee the airport’s control tower, navigation system, and runway distance measuring equipment.
