NEWLY renovated facilities at Mactan-Cebu International Airport are set to take center stage as preparations ramp up for the upcoming 48th Asean Leaders’ Summit, with airport officials highlighting upgraded lounges, improved airside markings, and expanded aircraft parking areas for visiting leaders.
During a media tour on Monday, April 20, 2026, work was ongoing at the Terminal 2 VIP Lounge and the newly refurbished P30 million General Aviation Terminal Building as part of preparations for Asean 2026.
Julius Neri Jr., chief executive officer and general manager of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority, said in a press briefing that major preparations have already been completed.
He added that finishing touches and last-minute installations, including the delivery of furniture and appliances, are still underway.
“So far, we are on time. We still have about two weeks. Everything has been programmed, so hopefully all our suppliers will be able to deliver,” Neri said.
Cebu City will host the 48th ASEAN Leaders’ Summit from May 5 to 9, which is expected to welcome thousands of delegates and several heads of state. (DPC)
