Clark CRK Airport Overview

Clark International Airport CRK (originally Clark Airport, then renamed 'Diosdado Macapagal Airport'; and again referred to as Clark International Airport) - serves the immediate vicinity of the Clark Economic Zone of Central Luzon and Angeles City. Due to its strategic location, DMIA is only 1.5 to 4 hours by air from most major Asian cities, and less than an hour from Metro Manila and the Subic Bay Freeport. The Airport is managed by the government-owned Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC).

The Airport is located in Angeles City, in the province of Pampanga, and is about 50 miles from Manila, the Philippines. The Clark South interchange leads directly to the Airport, to Angeles, Tarlac & the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
 
With two runways and an estimated 1.3 passengers in 2012, Clark International Airport is hub to Air Asia Philippines and Cebu and is presently served by regular and low-cost carriers with flights within the Asia-Pacific region. Domestic flights prevail at present, with some flights offered to South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, & Macao.

NOTE:  Presently, there is a choice between maintaining Cark & Aquino Airports, supporting each other, or 'giving up' NAIA (Aquino) in favor of CIA (Clark), which is three times larger than NAIA, with presently 40 percent overcapacity . It was suggested recently that the developments of both Clark & Aquino Airports should continue until the fast-rail shuttle becomes operational from Clark Airport to Metro Manila in just 20-30 mins.  As per Transportation Secretary, different plans for CIA & NAIA would be discussed in the Cabinet and ultimately with the President for approval - expected  soon. 

Passenger Terminals at DMIA Airport: 
Terminal 1, which has completed its second phase of expansion, with two boarding bridges, X-ray walk-through machines, centralized air conditioning system, two VIP lounges, a concession area and new elevators and escalators. (Upon completion of Terminal 2, Terminal 1 will handle all domestic routes.)
Premier Gateway Terminal 2 - the future international terminal - is slated to complete its first phase of construction in 2013, accommodating 7 million passengers annually, and thereafter start with its second phase development.
To get from DMIA to your destination, you can take a taxi, a shuttle, a bus or the train:  Taxi operators Airport Shuttle Service, Avis Philippines, & Triange Taxi, have stands in the arrivals hall.
1. Airconditoned 'jeepneys' shuttle passengers between the Airport and 'SM City Clark' or to the Dau bus terminal in Mabalacat.
2. 3 Bus Lines are available (a) Genesis Transport to Mariveles; (b) Partas to Baguio & Northern Luzon, except Laoag & Avenida; and (c) Philtranco to Pasay,, Cubao & SM Megamall).
3. PNR completed the North Luzon project with two separate lines - one for the Airport Railway, and another for the NorthRail commuter & high-speed rail line serving Metro Manila & northeren Luzon provinces.

Present and future Airport Airport Development: According to Airport management, Clark International is striving to become a secondary airport of choice by 2017, and a competitive aviation services center in the Asian Pacific Region by 2015. 
(a) The First Phase of construction, to be completed by 2013, calls for construction of airport plaza, transport plaza, covered parking, and new taxiways & aprons, the expansion of existing apron, access road and interchange works, the demoliton of some buildings, and the development of utilities.
(b) The Second Phase of construction will include the extension of the eastern runway to 4,000 meters, and construction of a new runway, a shopphing center, new taxiways & aprons, new cargo terminal complex & a new control tower.
 The Master Plan calls for construction of a state-of-the-art new Terminal 3 and the redevelopment and the completion of all projects by 2025, when the Airport is capable of hosting 80 million passengers a year. It will then have three parallel runways, a new control tower, a shopping center, and a high-speed train, new railway lines (the Airport Railway and the already operational NorthRail commuter to Metro Manila & northern Luzon provinces).  An automated people mover will take passengers from the Ground Transportation Center at Airport Plaza, to/from the three terminals.
