MCIA inks MOA with Mactan Wharf, Supercat for air-sea connectivity

LAPULAPU CITY – The Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA), Mactan Wharf Corporation and The Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation signed a memorandum of agreement on February 27 at the MCIA VIP Lounge for seamless travel within Central Visayas through the CEB+ initiative of MCIA.

“After launching Cebu Connects-- our air to air connectivity product in June, now we have CEB+, the air to sea connectivity to the islands around Cebu. This is the second pillar of our strategy to be the main and premier gateway for tourism in the Philippines,” Aboitiz Infracapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC) CEO, Athanasios Titonis bared.

Titonis said that this partnership is a big step towards transforming Philippine travel experience.  After the implementation of the first transfer hub Cebu Connects in June last year, the CEB+ is a landmark initiative that captures MCIA’s vision to become the “Main Tourism Transfer Gateway” in the country as it streamlines airport to seaport connectivity to reach key island destinations in Central Visayas.

The passenger journey is designed in a seamless manner by providing passengers with a shuttle service from MCIA to Mactan Wharf. The short 5-minute drive then takes passengers to immediate boarding on the Supercat Ferry towards their destinations.

Aldwin Uy- Deputy Chief Operations Officer of ACAC, Eugene Erik Lapasaran Lim- President of Mactan Wharf and Shane Antony Arante- General Manager of Supercat led the partnership signing and said they are committed to provide travelers with efficient, safe, and convenient connections starting with Cebu to Bohol, and in the future, Siquijor, Camotes, and beyond.
