Beginning December 23, the initial security screening at Terminal 1 North Wing and South Wing Departures of Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) is no longer required for all passengers departing for domestic flights.

Screening for both carry-on and checked luggage will be executed after the check-in process and at the final security screening before proceeding to the boarding gates, MCIA said in a statement.

Passengers are, however, still required to present their ticket or boarding pass and a valid ID before entering the terminal for their check-in and boarding procedures.

Terminal 2 has been implementing the same initial procedures for international departures since 2018.

MCIA currently has 13 foreign and four Philippine-based airline partners connecting the Visayas gateway to 27 domestic destinations and 10 international destinations.
