Airport Profile

The Mactan(Cebu) International Airport is located in Mactan Island, province of Cebu in Central Philippines and connected to Cebu City, the provincial capital 20 kilometers due southwest, through the Mactan-Mandaue bridge. The airport is about 600 kilometers of the Ninoy Aquino (Manila) International Airport (NAIA) and serves as the southern hub of the air transportation system of the Philippines. Mactan(Cebu) International Airport is ideally and strategically located that travel time is only 3 to 4 hours to fourteen (14) cities in Asia Pacific. It is a vital international gateway to the country's economic prosperity.

 

It started operations in the mid 1960's as the replacement of the Lahug Airport, which was situated within Cebu City and had no more room for expansion due to safety and physical constraints. It was then expanded and further developed to be truly deserving to its name – Mactan (Cebu ) International Airport.

Due to the steady increase of the traffic and passenger volume and the introduction of wider bodied aircrafts coupled with the emergence of modern aviation technology, some airport facilities have become obsolete and inadequate. This gave rise to the conception and materialization of the Mactan (Cebu) International Airport Development Project (MIADP), which provided the following:
