Cebu is still a safe and welcoming destination despite last week’s earthquake, which affected only the northern part of the province, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) assured on Thursday.

Airport officials said operations at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) remain fully normal and safe, with all facilities cleared after thorough inspections.

“Cebu’s airport operations are fully functional. Flights continue as scheduled, and our facilities have been inspected and cleared,” said Athanasios Titonis, CEO of Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation. “Passenger safety is our top priority, and we invite everyone to continue exploring Cebu with confidence — the island is safe, vibrant, and very much open for tourism.”

MCIAA general manager Julius Neri added that the airport immediately implemented safety protocols to ensure the well-being of passengers and staff.
“We want to assure the public, our airline partners, and visitors that Cebu remains a resilient destination, ready to welcome travelers with confidence,” Neri said.

Officials noted that all international routes — including flights to Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Brisbane and Hanoi — are operating as scheduled.
