Cebu Airport’s new Terminal 2 unveiled
Cebu Airport’s new Terminal 2 will officially open to the public on July 1.
The project was inaugurated by Philippines President Duerte and expects to handle 12.5 million passengers annually.
"For the past years, Mactan-Cebu International Airport’s demand had exceeded the physical capacity of its terminal. With the addition of Terminal 2, not only will we be able to sustainably cope with the steadily increasing number of passengers, we will also be able to open Cebu to more international flights," said airport operator GMCAC president Louie Ferrer.
T2 will ease congestion at overloaded Terminal 1 which has a capacity of just 4.5 million passengers.
Last year the airport handled 10 million fliers.
The new terminal has capacity for up to 72 check-in counters and 12 passenger boarding bridges able to handle wide and narrow body aircraft.
"Terminal 2 is a testament to GMR Group’s credentials as a leading global airport developer and operator. We are optimistic about the Philippines’ growth story, specifically in aviation, and look forward to contributing further to its ongoing Build, Build, Build program," GMCAC chairman Srinivas Bommidala said.
