| ASIA’S NEXT PREMIER GETAWAY Clark International Airport’s new terminal will boost the operational capacity from 4.2 to 12.2 million annually and will help spur development to Central Luzon |
It’s too premature to be excited about travel in these times, but we can’t help getting giddy after DOTR Sec. Art Tugade announced on July 15 that Clark International Airport’s new passenger terminal will be fully operational by January 2021.
BCDA President and CEO Vince Dizon said that the airport development project had been carried out at a record rate from the start of its construction in April 2018. Currently, the new PTB now stands at 99.14 percent completion rate.
The development of the Clark International Airport, which is under the government’s “Build, Build, Build” program, is envisioned to help spur economic progress and development in Central Luzon. It also aims to help ease the strain of congestion off the NAIA. Once completed, the new PTB will boost the operational capacity to triple from the current 4.2 million to 12.2 million annually.
This development hailed as the “Asia’s Next Premier Gateway,” will not only help ease air traffic congestion at the NAIA, but also pave way for the creation of job opportunities, and bolster tourism and other socio-economic endeavors in the region.
