Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), operated by Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corp. (ACAC), expects to have another strong year on the back of robust operational and sustainability wins in 2024.
MCIA, the country’s second-busiest gateway, is a business unit of Aboitiz infrastructure arm Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. (AIC), which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Like MCIA, the concessions to upgrade, operate, and maintain Laguindingan International Airport in Misamis Oriental and Bohol-Panglao International Airport in Bohol (the country’s sixth- and ninth-busiest gateways, respectively) will be managed by AIC.
AIC said MCIA’s solid performance the previous year sets a promising stage ahead of the company’s takeovers for Laguindingan International Airport and Bohol-Panglao International Airport, scheduled for April 2025 and June 2025, respectively.
“Our vision for MCIA and our broader airports portfolio is to redefine the travel experience by integrating world-class operations, sustainable practices, and cultural relevance. We are proud to mark MCIA’s achievements as AIC celebrates its 10th year,” said AIC president and chief executive Cosette Canilao.
“We remain committed to delivering an exceptional airport that not only enhances connectivity but also upholds our responsibility to the environment and the communities we serve,” said AIC vice president and head of airports business Rafael Aboitiz.
MCIA continued to push the boundaries of operational efficiency in 2024, highlighted by its milestone partnership with homegrown carrier Cebu Pacific to elevate passenger experience.
MCIA welcomed United Airlines flights in July 2024, expanding connectivity to new routes. The gateway also introduced Cebu Connect, a seamless airport transfer solution, making air-to-air connectivity smoother than ever.
This was followed in February 2025 with Cebu+, a partnership between MCIA, Mactan Wharf Corp. and Supercat Fast Ferry Corp. to streamline airport-to-seaport connectivity to reach key island destinations around Cebu.
