November 13, 2024—The inauguration of the new offices of the Bangsamoro Airport Authority (BAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) at Awang Airport is a step toward regional autonomy in managing aviation in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
This move empowers the regional government to oversee airport operations, improve air travel, and ensure safety standards, aligning with the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). It also strengthens connectivity, which drives economic growth, tourism, and trade. It also represents a valuable opportunity for the management and staff to play a role in BARMM’s aviation sector’s growth and development.
By focusing on innovation, collaboration, and service, the new office will help improve airport operations and create new opportunities for local communities, boosting the region’s progress and enhancing its global connections.
