Laguindingan Airport (CGY) in Misamis Oriental, west of Cagayan de Oro, is the main airport of Northern Mindanao, with domestic flights to Manila (MNL) and Cebu (CEB). International air cargo therefore connects via Manila or Cebu. Sea freight runs through the Port of Cagayan de Oro and the Mindanao Container Terminal in Tagoloan, inside the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate east of the city.
The Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan road connects the city along the north coast, and the Sayre Highway runs south into Bukidnon, the region's agricultural heartland. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon.
