Clark Airport: The Next Premier International Gateway


Everyone seems to be bitten by the travel bug these days. Travel photos are all over the web. Bottom line is, most if not all of us wants to go places be it local or international, by land or plane, to climb mountains or swim the seas, or to simply chase sunrise and sunsets. The good news is that, traveling is way more convenient and affordable now compared to the past years. In addition to budget airlines and travel packages that won’t have to break the bank, construction of expressways and expansion or renovation of airports are a huge help in transportation today.

Midori Clark Hotel and Casino, located inside the heart of Clark Freeport is fortunate enough to be accessible via two main express highways - Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) and the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), if you travel by land. And the Clark International Airport (CIA), if you travel by air.

Clark International Airport a 2,367 hectares Civil Aviation Complex is poised to become the premier international gateway, next to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). It is one of the biggest aviation complex in Asia with two (2) runways in parallel configuration that can easily be extended to 4 kilometers to accommodate new generation wide-bodied aircrafts.
Airport facilities includes: 
1. Primary runway with 3,200 meters length; 61 meters width; full instrumental flight rules.
2. Passenger terminal building that can hold 4.5M passengers annually, with 2 passengers boarding bridges.
3. Radar Coverage of 60 nautical miles (primary) and 220 nautical miles (secondary).
4. Precision Approach - Category I for Instrument Landing System (ILS) Category Rating.
5. Category 10 Ready for Rescue and Fire Fighting Capability.
