    CAPA, the Australian-based provider of independent aviation market intelligence worldwide, said that MCIA has “been the biggest standout strategically, has established itself as a leader and has done the most to advance the progress of the aviation industry.”

    The Asia Pacific Regional Airport of the Year award is not the first recognition that MCIA received. It was also hailed as the 14th best airport in Asia this year, according to The Guide to Sleeping in Airports’ website. This was an improvement, as the airport placed 18th in the same list last year.

    Louie Ferrer, president of GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. (GMCAC) said that this recognition is a good thing not only to their company but also to the country. “In the past, we have only been known for having the worst airports but through MCIA, we are changing that mindset,” he said.

    GMCAC’s chief executive adviser, Andrew Harrison, also stated that the company is planning to further strengthen Cebu’s position as an international hub, and increase MCIA’s connectivity, by further route development.
