Flights to Cebu City
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Cebu City is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Mactan Cebu International Airport (CEB), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 10,860-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Bohol-Panglao International Airport (TAG, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mactan Cebu International Airport | CEB | 10 km (6 mi) | 10,860 ft | 31 ft |
| Bohol-Panglao International Airport | TAG | 84 km (52 mi) | 8,202 ft | 42 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,860 ft, CEB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 31 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
