G.S.C Airport

 

General Santos International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Heneral Santos, Cebuano: Tugpahanang Pangkalibutanon sa Heneral Santos, Hiligaynon: Pangkalibutan nga Hulugpaan sang Heneral Santos) (IATA: GES, ICAO: RPMR) is an alternate international airport located in General Santos City, Philippines serving the greater area of SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII). Situated in Barangay Fatima, the airport is the largest airport in the island of Mindanao^[2] and is officially classified an International Airport by theCivil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), a government bureau which is responsible in the management and operations of General Santos International Airport and all other airports in the country except regular international airports.

Inaugurated on 6 July 1996 in time to serve the influx of visitors, athletes and participants coming in from different parts of the country who were taking part in the 42nd annual Palarong Pambansa (National Games) that was held in South Cotabato, Sarangani Provinceand General Santos City (SOCSARGEN) area at that time. Since then, the new airport immediately replaced the old and smaller Buayan Airport in Barangay Buayan, which is now converted into an air station for the use of The Philippine Air Force and renamed it “Rajah Buayan Air Station”. Though new, wider and much modern, General Santos International Airport nevertheless retained its oldIATA airport code (GES) from the old Buayan Airport.

everyday GenSan

This is Pioneer Avenue at night. The main street of General Santos City. On the right is one of its better hotels, the Sydney Hotel. This is among the very few busiest streets. At daytime, this is flooded with Tricycles, GenSan’s primary mode of transportation- in all colors and make.

Going further is an intersection where there is one of the only 3 traffic lights installed in all of GenSan.

We’re a small town, what did we tell you?! Home to about 500,000 Gensanians as we call ourselves. Despite that we’re the Tuna capital and considered the most competetive city in the Philippines.
