A prime government land surrounding the Clark International Airport will now be known as the Clark Aviation Capital of the Philippines, according to the Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC).

The Clark Aviation Capital covers some 2,367 hectares  and will be the “aviation-centric business capital of the country.” 

Clark Aviation Capital, launched yesterday during a general assembly in Clark, is seen attracting partners in cargo and logistics services, vertical infrastructure projects, sustainable development of heritage parks.

These in turn will  lure more tourists and institutions like the national food hub—all clustered as the seven flagship projects. 

The seven flagship projects include  the food hub, the World Events and Entertainment Center, and the Urban Renewal and Heritage Conservation Program.

Also in the pipeline are the Direct Access Road Link to Clark Airport Project, the upgrading of road networks and facilities, the detailed site development plan of the second runway, and the building of the Clark Aviation Capital Headquarters.

The launch was led by CIAC president  Arrey Perez and was attended by  Transportation Undersecretary for Aviation Roberto  Lim, Bases Conversion and Development Authority vice president Kenneth Peralta, and Dr. John Ortiz Teope, who represented BCDA chairman Thompson Lantion.
