Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) has initiated its transformation into a Silent Airport in a pioneering move for a truly world-class experience at MCIA.
Silent airports are characterized by their minimal or complete absence of announcements over loudspeakers. This transition is designed to mitigate noise pollution and foster a serene atmosphere for travelers.
Rather than verbal announcements, silent airports utilize visual displays, electronic signage, and mobile notifications to communicate essential information such as boarding times, gate adjustments, and security notices.
Singapore Changi Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol are leading examples of airports worldwide that have successfully implemented silent airport practices.
MCIA is gradually reducing repetitive announcements while prioritizing essential ones.
Athanasios Titonis, CEO of Mactan-Cebu International Airport, foresees that the transition will make the travel experience to and from MCIA more enjoyable, establishing it as the premier gateway to tourism in the Philippines. ”Our goal is to ensure that the passenger journey at MCIA aligns with global standards, inspiring foreign visitors to choose us as their gateway to discover the Philippines.”
