Philippine Gateway Gears Up for Growth as Logistics Alternative
Clark International Airport is undergoing a significant expansion, with a second runway in the detailed design phase and a new Lufthansa Technik maintenance facility on the way. The developments position the airport as a serious alternative to Manila’s congested airport, with growing demand from logistics carriers and improving overall airport efficiency. The new runway is expected to become operational by the fourth quarter of 2029, while the Lufthansa Technik facility will create around 1,200 skilled jobs and expand the company’s capabilities to include the Boeing 787. This expansion was first reported by AeroTime.
