Dining

The terminal itself offers very limited food and beverage options, so travellers should plan accordingly. Mati City centre has local eateries and carinderias serving Mindanaoan staples such as grilled fish, sinuglaw, and rice dishes. The nearby seafront area around Pujada Bay offers fresh seafood restaurants worth exploring after arrival.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm flight schedules directly with your carrier as services to Mati can be infrequent and subject to change.
  • Arrange ground transport in advance, as taxis are not widely available at the airport.
  • Bring sufficient cash as ATM access near the airport is limited.
  • Check weather conditions, particularly during typhoon season (June–November), as flights may be disrupted.
