Aboitiz Construction has formally launched its Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) services at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), in a landmark partnership with Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC), operator of the country’s second busiest airport.
The five-year agreement marks Aboitiz Construction’s official entry into long-term operations and maintenance services—a significant expansion beyond its traditional construction portfolio. The IFM contract covers the maintenance and operations of MCIA’s critical airport systems, including baggage handling, passenger boarding bridges, and visual docking guidance systems. It also encompasses full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and civil works management, all backed by a centralized help desk and a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to enable digital asset and vendor tracking.
The IFM services are aligned with both government-mandated Minimum Performance Standards and Specifications (MPSS) and global benchmarks set by the Airport Council International.
“This collaboration with ACAC reinforces our mission to deliver reliable and efficient infrastructure solutions that support economic growth,” said Anton Perdices, president and chairman of Aboitiz Construction. “We are proud to be a trusted partner in ensuring the seamless operation of one of the country’s busiest gateways.”
ACAC CEO Athanasios Titonis underscored the partnership’s broader vision, describing it as a major step toward delivering world-class, safe, and sustainable airport operations. “This also paves the way for more future synergy projects between Aboitiz Construction and all our three airports,” he added.
More than 150 personnel have been locally hired under the agreement, underscoring Aboitiz Construction’s commitment to community upliftment and employment generation.
MCIA serves over 11 million passengers annually, connecting 21 airlines to 41 domestic and international destinations. The partnership supports MCIA’s continued growth as a key tourism and logistics hub for Central Visayas and the entire Philippines.
