Butuan Airport, officially Bancasi Airport (BXU), serves Butuan City on the north-eastern side of Mindanao in the Philippines. It takes its name from Bancasi, the barangay of Butuan City where it stands, in the province of Agusan del Norte. It is the only airport in Agusan del Norte and the largest in the Caraga region, so it is the usual way in by air for the whole area. The airport has one passenger terminal for domestic flights and is run by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), which classes it as a Principal Domestic Airport.

Coming from Malaysia, you will reach Butuan by connecting through another Philippine airport, as all flights at BXU are domestic. This guide covers the terminal, the airline that flies here, getting into the city and how to use the flight schedule on this page.
