Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc. (AIC) is taking the country’s vibrant travel sector to new heights with the launch of AeroConnect, AIC Airports’ exclusive travel trade newsletter designed to keep travelers, partners, and industry stakeholders informed and engaged.
Launched online on 22 September 2025, AeroConnect aims to provide timely and relevant updates on airport developments, travel deals, and destination highlights for the traveling public.
Further, it is envisioned as a one-stop hub for both avid travelers and trade partners looking to stay ahead of trends.
“Through AeroConnect, we aim to strengthen connections between airports, travelers, and partners. We envision AIC Airports as gateways for travel and catalysts for discovery, experience, and economic growth,” said AIC president and CEO Cosette V. Canilao.
