## Description

Electronics components, furniture and chilled seafood make up much of what leaves Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB/RPVM), the Philippines' second-busiest gateway, located on Mactan Island next to Lapu-Lapu City. The airport handled about 77,474 tonnes of cargo in 2025, up roughly 13% year on year, with international tonnage growing far faster than domestic volumes. Most of that freight travels as belly cargo on passenger aircraft; a dedicated freighter operation at CEB is not confirmed, so shippers with full-freighter requirements usually route via Manila (MNL) or Clark (CRK). The site is owned by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority and operated by Aboitiz InfraCapital. Cargo is trucked in by forwarders, then passes document checks, security screening and warehouse acceptance before build-up, with customs clearance handled by the Philippine Bureau of Customs. Road connections across the Mactan bridges reach the Cebu industrial estates and the Port of Cebu within a short drive, which makes sea-air combinations practical for Visayas traffic. For consignments destined for southern Mindanao, Davao (DVO) is the more logical alternative.
