More international commercial flights at Clark

More international commercial flights will soon be mounted at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) at Clark zone. Clark Development Corp. (CDC) executive vice-president Victor Jose Luciano said that the latest airline firms which have decided to fly in Clark were Air Asia (of Malaysia), Tiger Asia (of Singapore), Air Thai (of Thailand). Already having regular flights at Clark are Asiana, Asian Spirit and SeaAir.

In addition, United Parcel Service (UPS) has established at Clark its intra-Asia hub. FeDex also has reserved a big parcel of land at the DMIA aviation complex in preparation for the transfer of its hub from Subic International Airport. Negotiations for the entry of these commercial flights to Clark have been initiated by former CDC president and CEO Emmanuel Y. Angeles and Luciano. They too were instrumental in the acquisition of a top-of-the-line radar system costing $11 million which installation is now being prepared.

Newly installed CDC president Antonio Ng has announced that one of his main thrusts is the further development of DMIA into the country’s premier international airport. In fact, he said that DMIA would soon be used as the main entry and exit points of the thousands of overseas Filipino works who hail in Central and Northern Luzon
