Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) has become the first airport in the Philippines to join the Asia Pacific and Middle East Regional Operational Safety Committee (ROSC) of Airports Council International (ACI), strengthening its commitment to operational excellence and alignment with international aviation best practices.
MCIA’s participation in the committee places the airport alongside leading gateways across Asia Pacific and the Middle East in advancing regional safety initiatives, sharing operational insights, and contributing to strategies that enhance aviation safety and resilience.
The achievement reflects MCIA’s continued efforts to maintain world-class airport operations while supporting the Philippines’ growing role as a regional aviation and tourism hub.
For airline partners, the membership provides an avenue for closer collaboration on emerging operational challenges, safety priorities, and industry developments, while enabling MCIA to benchmark its practices against some of the region’s most progressive airports.
For travelers, participation in the ROSC supports MCIA’s pursuit of safer, more efficient, and seamless airport experiences, underpinned by internationally recognized standards and continuous improvement.
As one of the Philippines’ leading international gateways, MCIA continues to invest in initiatives that enhance operational reliability, strengthen passenger confidence, and support the long-term growth of air connectivity in the region.
