[[Mactan–Cebu International Airport]] (MCIA) on the island of [[Mactan]] serves as the main gateway to domestic and international routes to or from Cebu City and other islands in the [[Visayas]] region. In the last 15 years, MCIA's passenger traffic has grown at an annual average of 21% for international passenger traffic. The airport is the second busiest airport in the Philippines in passenger and cargo traffic. The plan for a new terminal expansion of the airport is underway and estimated to cost $240 million under a [[public-private partnership]] program of the Philippine government. The new terminal will host international flights while the old terminal will host domestic flights.<ref name=ref2013040306>{{Cite news|url=http://investvine.com/philippine-ppps-queue-up-investors/ |title=Philippine PPPs queue up investors |website=InvestVine.com |date=April 3, 2013}}</ref>
