Zamboanga International Airport (IATA: ZAM, ICAO: RPMZ) serves Zamboanga City, the largest city on the Zamboanga Peninsula in the southwestern Philippines. It is one of the principal airports in Mindanao and handles both domestic and limited international traffic, connecting the region to Manila and other major Philippine hubs. The airport is operated under the authority of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). It plays a critical role in supporting the local economy, trade, and humanitarian operations given Zamboanga City's status as a major urban center near maritime Southeast Asia. The airport has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years to expand capacity and improve passenger facilities, reflecting the growth in air travel demand across the Mindanao region.
