A big step was made towards transforming Philippine travel experience with the official MOA signing last February 28, 2025 for the Cebu+ partnership between Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA), Mactan Wharf Corporation and The Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation.
After the implementation of the first transfer hub Cebu Connects in June last year, this landmark initiative 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.
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 destination.
According to Athanasios Titonis, CEO of Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC), “After launching Cebu Connect– our air to air connectivity product in June, now we have Cebu+, 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.”
The MOA signing was led by Aldwin Uy- Deputy Chief Operations Officer of ACAC, Eugene Erik Lapasaran Lim- President of Mactan Wharf and Shane Antony Arante- General Manager of Supercat. All three parties are committed to provide travelers with efficient, safe, and convenient connections starting with Cebu to Bohol, and in the future, Siquijor, Camotes, and beyond.
