Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) will market Cebu and two other Aboitiz-operated gateways to Trip.com’s 2.5 million active subscribers under a new partnership that opens the airport’s routes to exclusive fare, hotel, and attraction deals on the global travel platform.
The tieup gives travelers access to network offers spanning MCIA and the Aboitiz InfraCapital airports in Bohol and Laguindingan, alongside vouchers redeemable for flights, accommodations, and attractions.
‘This partnership underscores our ongoing commitment to expanding global access to the beautiful destinations of the Philippines,’ said Aboitiz InfraCapital Airports CEO Athanasios Titonis.
It also secured exclusive arrangements with major carriers including Philippine Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, China Airlines, Starlux Airlines, Eva Air, Scoot, Jetstar, Korean Air, and United Airlines.
‘This strategic exchange with Trip.com maximizes our digital footprint across our key markets in a high-traffic platform. It perfectly aligns with our mandate to champion Cebu as a vibrant hub, ensuring we bring value to our passengers through different platforms for the routes that we develop,’ Titonis added.
The deal aims to stimulate both inbound and outbound travel through Cebu by tapping the online travel agency’s digital reach and airline links. Through the platform, passengers can search deals for Cebu and the other Aboitiz-run airports and book exclusive network offers to those destinations.
MCIA is the Philippines’s premier transfer gateway to the Visayas and Mindanao and is fully owned and managed by Aboitiz InfraCapital, the infrastructure investment arm of the Aboitiz Group. The airport operates the Ceb Connects transfer system and the Ceb+ integrated air-to-sea travel network, and was the first in the country to use parallel runways.
It was named Best Airport in Asia-Pacific in the 5-15 million passengers per annum category at the 2024 Airport Service Quality Awards and Airport of the Year in Asia at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025.
