MCIA’s PWD-friendly Amenities Earn Level 1 Accessibility Accreditation from ACI

In support of Persons-With-Disabilities (PWD) travel, Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) is featuring PWD-friendly amenities that recently earned the airport a Level 1 Accessibility Accreditation from the Airports Council International.

Its PWD-friendly amenities include wheelchair subsidy, PWD washrooms, ramp passageway & lift, reserved seats, and priority call during boarding in both terminals.

The amenities also comply with the Accessibility Law (Batas Pambansa Bilang 344), adhering to the standards and dimensions for vanities, grab bars, and water closet heights.

“Travel should be a privilege, not a burden. Which is why we designed PWD-friendly amenities that cater to PWDs and their families,” said Aboitiz InfraCapital GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation, Chief Executive Officer, Athanasios Titonis.

“One of the pioneering advancements done in the Philippine airport community is the integration of sliding doors in PWD-friendly restrooms, emergency push buttons, and designated seating areas to ensure comfort and convenience for all travelers,” Titonis added.

“Part of the airport’s commitment to safety is to ensure accessible travel for all. "We do this by complying with global travel standards and getting input from the PWD community before upgrading our facilities,” said Aboitiz InfraCapital GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation, Head of Customer Experience, Ricia Montejo

"It is a community that collaborates to enhance our facilities, making them more inclusive for everyone." Montejo added

MCIA also holds a yearly forum with PWD groups to get insights on how to enhance travel experience for PWD travelers.
