Maximizing Cebu’s strategic location as a gateway to the Philippines
Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), the Philippines’ largest international aviation hub outside of Metro Manila, is central to Cebu’s position as a gateway to the country. This award-winning airport is home to five (5) domestic and 15 international carriers that connect the province to 27 domestic and 12 international destinations. In 2023 MCIA accommodated over 10 million passengers, making the gateway the Philippines’ second-busiest. Aside from serving a crucial role in facilitating trade and boosting the local and regional economy, the airport is also key to providing business and leisure travelers with a glimpse of what the province has to offer.
MCIA fulfills all these functions while also serving as a model of a smart, sustainable, and highly efficient global aviation hub. This plastic-free facility bans the use of non-biodegradable single-use plastics and polystyrene containers, and it employs 6,300 solar panels to meet its demand for electricity. In addition to implementing best practices in environmental management, the airport is also exploring the incorporation of digital technologies, such as advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, in its operations. These features are expected to elevate the overall experience of local and international travelers and bolster MCIA’s role as one of the country’s premier international gateways.
Operated by Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation, MCIA will leverage Aboitiz InfraCapital's unique experience and expertise in order to transform the airport into an international gateway that every Filipino can be proud of.
MCIA, whose Terminal 2 is a Skytrax 4-Star Terminal, is vying for the equally prestigious World's Best Airport Staff recognition at the Skytrax Awards 2025.
