How To Get To Clark Freeport Zone



Surprisingly, there are quite a few people who think Clark and Subic are one. To avoid the confusion, Subic Bay Freeport is located in Olongapo (Zambales) while Clark Freeport is located in Mabalacat City (Pampanga). 

With the PhilippineInternational Hot Air Balloon Fiesta fast approaching and promising economic developments around, it is expected that a lot of people’s eyes are set on Clark Freeport these days.

Whether you’re planning to explore Clark Freeport or you’re just passing by because of a flight via Clark International Airport, this article will help you get to Clark, by land or by air.

By Land

Approximately 80 kilometers north of Manila, Clark is reachable by land which takes an hour and a half drive.  Take the North Luzon Expressway and exit at Dau. Make a left turn toward Angeles City, then a right turn toward Clark.

Clark may also be reached via the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). From the North Luzon Expressway, continue the drive leading to the SCTEX exit.  You may use either the Clark North Interchange (Panday Pira access road near Nayong Pilipino) or Clark South Interchange (near Yokohama and Clark Main Gate) to enter Clark.

By Air

Thanks to Clark International Airport, Clark is reachable by air. You may fly via Cebu Pacific which flies directly from and to Cebu City and other international destinations like Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore.

Other airlines flying to Clark International Airport are: Dragon Air and Tiger Air from Hong Kong, Asiana Airlines and Jin Air from Incheon, Air Asia from Kuala Lumpur and Qatar Airways from Doha. Emirates Airlines just recently announced its new Dubai-Clark-Cebu flights starting March 2016.

Future Road Developments

A six-kilometer vital road project that would ease traffic flow in the cities of Angeles and Mabalacat is set to be completed on June 2016.

In addition to the Clark-Mabalacat-Angeles Road Project, a Hybrid Road Train project is also part of the plans to improve the transportation system in the area. Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) president and CEO Emigdio Tanjuatco III said that "Clark Freeport is the best place to use the hybrid road train because of the smooth traffic flow and well-constructed pavements. We are glad that DOST and CDC have thought of this very timely project."


The private operator of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is currently connecting it to the Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).  The connection of NLEX and SCTEX aims to make traveling between them seamless and to spare motorists from having to make stops between Quezon City and Tarlac.
