Renovation of Terminal 1 of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) is in full swing to implement the distinct look designed by the acclaimed award-winning architects Budji + Royal Design that will turn it into an “Airport Village”.

According to MCIAA General Manager Atty. Steve Dicdican, the Terminal 1 Arrivals Pick-up Zone accounts for the majority of the MCIA passenger traffic at 7.7 million passengers per year.

The key feature of the Terminal 1 renovation is the Airport Village, the first of its kind in the country, where meeters and greeters can converge in an open village-like atmosphere. Indeed, another MCIA innovation towards becoming Asia’s passenger-friendliest airport.

Renovation is scheduled for completion by the fourth quarter of this year.
