The Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) inaugurated its new second runway on Thursday, January 30, 2025, costing P2.07 billion. Julius Neri Jr., MCIA's general manager, stated that the runway will accommodate an additional 25% capacity for domestic and international flights. The parallel runway is 2,560 meters long and 45 meters wide. Neri also explained that the parallel runway will serve as a backup if the main runway needs maintenance or closure, ensuring uninterrupted airport operations. He added that once the new airstrip is fully operational, repairs on the main runway, planned for later this year, will commence. President Ferdinand “BongBong” Marcos Jr., who attended the inauguration, said, “This airport has been instrumental not only in the development of this province but also of the Central Visayas region and other provinces that are served by flights from Mactan-Cebu International Airport.” “Together with the original runway, ensuring greater efficiency and capacity to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving and growing aviation industry. With two runways running full-time, the airport will now have the capacity to cater up to 18 million passengers a year,” he added.
