Clark International Airport A S H O W C A S E O F M O D E R N F I L I P I N O S E N S I B I L I T Y By PATRICIA RUTH CAILAO 8 COLLECTIVE
The expansion of the Clark International Airport (CRK) is finally making headway after its conceptualization for more than two decades. For a long time, infrastructure projects in the country have been hounded with controversies and delays. But the present administration at the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (<strong>BCDA</strong>) vows not to count Clark airport as just another delayed project. The project is on track and people are getting closer to witnessing the airport transform into an alternative global gateway that would bring in huge investments in the region and in the whole archipelago. The Clark International airport operates in a 2,400-hectare land, roughly four times the size of the entire Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) complex in Manila. The average daily passenger at the Clark airport is 7,000 and served by a total of 481 weekly flights, 158 of which are international flights and 323 are domestic routes. The expansion of the airport, being handled by the Megawide-GMR consortium, broke ground in December 2017. The first phase of the project entails the construction of a 10.2-hectare new, world-class terminal in the airport which will increase passenger capacity to eight million per annum from the existing 4.2 million passengers per year. Aside from decongesting NAIA, what’s promising about the Clark International Airport is the design that will manifest the modern Filipino architecture. COLLECTIVE 9
