Clark Airport Posts Record Passengers
The Clark International Airport (CRK) posted a record 1.3 million passengers in both international and domestic for 2012 or a 71 percent increase from the previous year making it the fastest growing airport of the country.
In a report to Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya, Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) President and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano said the โClark airport achieved a historicrecord of 1.3 million passengers for 2012.โ
โThe Clark Airport achieved an unprecedented growth on the strength of budget travel that encouraged passengers coming from Northern and Central Luzon and as far as Metro Manila and Southern Tagalog to experience Clark,โ according toLuciano.
โAs an airport, Clark has proven its viability, its resilience and robustness,โ he added.
Records showed that Clark airport attracted 1,312,979 passengers from January to December in 2012 surpassing the 767,109 passengers in 2011 or a 71.16 percent increase from the previous year.
International passengers alone accounted for 1,013,096 or a 77 percent of total volume in 2012 compared to 725,023 in 2011.
Luciano also noted that Clarkโs domestic passengers also surged when AirAsia, Airphil Express, and Seair-Tiger commenced domestic flights in April last year to the countryโs prime tourist destinations. Domestic passengers accounted for 299,883 passengers for 2012 or a 613 percent increase compared to 42,086 in 2011.
Last December 2012, Clark airport posted 151,401 passengers compared to 84,541 passengers for the same period in 2011 or a 79 percent increase.
Luciano said that Executive Orders 28 and 29 of President Aquino boosted the attraction of Clark as alternate airport to foreign and local carriers alike, as airlines were encouraged to fly outside Metro Manila as alternate to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
โIt also helped that Clark International Airport was placed under the direct supervision of the DOTC in the December, 2011 under Executive Order 64, then Secretary Mar Roxas and now Sec. Abaya did a lot of encouragement and gave full support to Clark when we were made member of DOTCโs Aviation Cluster along with Manila International Airport Auhtority (MIAA) and Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA),โ he said.
Luciano also expects growth to sustain in 2013 as connectivity to Metro Manila will be much improved when a dedicated regular first-class Bus service commences on January 15, 2013 from Trinoma Mall in Quezon City direct to Clark via Mindanao Avenue then through the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) at a low bus fare of P200.00 for the trip to Clark.
