Aboitiz InfraCapital GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. (Aboitiz InfraCapital GMCAC), which manages the Philippines’ second busiest airport, teamed up with Cebu Pacific (CebuPac) to develop a route network and elevate passenger experience at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA).

“This collaboration with Cebu Pacific signifies a substantial stride towards realizing our vision for MCIA as the gateway of tourism in the Philippines. Together, we will work tirelessly to innovate and enhance every aspect of the passenger journey, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for all travelers,” he said.
Specific plans for MCIA include better connectivity between the airport’s domestic and international terminals, new dining and retail offerings and the introduction of on-site electric vehicles to reduce the airport’s carbon footprint.

Cebu Pacific is one of the many domestic and international airlines operating out of MCIA. From MCIA, Cebu Pacific flies to 23 domestic and four international destinations.
“Cebu Pacific is proud to operate its largest base outside Manila in one of the best airports in Asia. Partnering with Aboitiz InfraCapital GMCAC will help us reaffirm our commitment to provide safe, accessible, and affordable air transport and elevate the travel experience of our passengers,” said Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao.
