Location insights
Mactan-Cebu is the Visayas gateway, the second busiest airport in the Philippines, set on Mactan Island across the bridge from Cebu City. Terminal 1 carries the domestic banks toward Manila and the island network while the resort-style timber-roofed Terminal 2, opened in 2018 with its warm wooden arches, holds every international arrival and departure toward Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore and the Gulf.

Mactan-Cebu Airport billboard FAQs
Do I need a permit to advertise at Mactan-Cebu Airport (CEB)?
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, GMCAC terminal advertising concession, JCDecaux Airport among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Why advertise at Mactan-Cebu Airport?
Mactan-Cebu Airport handled 11.6 million passengers in 2025. The audience is the reason to buy it: air passengers are captive, comparatively affluent, and hard to reach through most channels, and they spend meaningful time in the terminal with attention to spare between check-in and boarding. Dwell is the asset. Unlike a roadside screen read in two seconds, a gate or arrivals placement gets minutes rather than moments, which is why airport placements hold up for brand and considered-purchase messages rather than short reminders.
What are the best placements at Mactan-Cebu Airport?
Mactan-Cebu Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Departures hall guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security & checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Concourse & gate holdrooms gives the longest relaxed attention, with passengers seated and waiting. Each zone shows its own per-play price and live availability, so you can pair a high-reach zone with a high-dwell one rather than guessing at a single best spot. Arrivals & baggage reclaim catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Lounges & duty-free reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight.
Can I book Mactan-Cebu Airport screens by the hour?
Yes. On Blindspot every Mactan-Cebu Airport screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum, so you can buy only the morning departures bank or the long-haul arrivals windows that match your audience.
Who operates advertising at Mactan-Cebu Airport?
The airport's media is run by operators such as GMCAC terminal advertising concession, JCDecaux Airport; Blindspot aggregates the bookable digital screens onto one map, priced per play.
How fast can my ad go live at Mactan-Cebu Airport?
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
What can I get at Mactan-Cebu Airport for $500?
More than the usual airport rate card suggests, because you are buying plays rather than a fixed package. In Mactan-Cebu Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Concourse & gate holdrooms, or a concentrated burst on Departures hall and Security & checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.40, the arithmetic is visible before you commit. It will not buy a month of an arrivals-hall spectacular, and that is the trade: hourly, per-play buying lets a small budget own the specific windows when the passengers you want are actually in the terminal, instead of thinning the same money across empty overnight hours.
