Early Findings
History of Clark Airport
Clark International Airport (CIA) is located near
Angeles City i
n the Philippines, 85 km northwest of the capital Manila.
It is part of the Clark
Special Economic Zone (
CSEZ).
It was formerly known as
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport
(DMIA), and was developed on the site of an
old US Clark Airbase,
closed in 1991 following a volcano eruption.
Two years later, the
CIA was opened.
Since then, a number of improvements have taken place, from
road infrastructure
around the airport completed in 2008 to
two terminal expansions.
There is a
master plan
in place to make the important a major infrastructure able to handle between
10 and 15 million
passengers annually.
In August 2019,
a private consortium
was put in charge of the airport's management.
Policy framework put in place
To solve airport management issues,
a private consortium
was tasked with managing the airport's activities, including its expansion plans.
The consortium will be responsible for
managing the terminal
, developing the airport's commercial assets, and develop the new terminal.
Prior to this, a master plan was approved in 2003 by the Airport's board to
expand the airport
to full potential.
It included a terminal expansion conducted between 2006 and 2008 that cost $2.8 million and further extensions followed in
2010 and 2013.
The latest expansion plan proposed in 2014 involved the construction of a brand new
low-cost carrier terminal
(LCC) able to handle between 10 and 15 million passengers at a cost of $243 million.
This project is planned to be completed by
2020.
How did it compete with other airports in the Phillipines
Clark Airport has served
2.1 million
passengers during the first half of 2019. This represents a 63% increase over the same period of 2018 and the highest ever mid-year number recorded in the airport’s 24-year history.
The airport accommodates around 1
1,500 passengers
daily passengers and 673 weekly flights.
Growth in usage and revenue from other areas (duty-free perhaps?)
The new expansion project for Clark Airport should contribute by 2025 to increase domestic and international
tourism by 3.7 percent
and tourism expenditure by 2 percent.
