Clark International Airport | Philippines

Clark International Airport[note 1] (IATA: CRK, ICAO: RPLC), known as Diosdado Macapagal International Airport[note 2] from 2003 to 2012, is an international airport covering portions of the cities of Angeles and Mabalacat within the Clark Freeport Zone in the province of Pampanga, Philippines. It is located 80 kilometers (50 mi)[6] northwest of Manila. It is accessible through the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).

The airport serves Central Luzon, Northern Luzon, and, to an extent, Metro Manila. The name is derived from the former American Clark Air Base, which was the largest overseas base of the United States Air Force until it was closed and handed over to the Government of the Philippines in 1991.

The airport is managed and operated by Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD) Corp., a consortium of JG Summit Holdings, Filinvest Development Corporation, Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions (PAGSS) Inc., and Changi Airports Philippines Pte. Ltd.;[1][2] while the southern part of the facility is utilized by the Philippine Air Force as Clark Air Base.[7]

The airport serves both international and domestic flights. The airport was nominated for the 2021 Prix Versailles [it] awards[8] but lost to LaGuardia Airport Terminal B as the best new airport in 2021.[9]
