PAMPANGA, Philippines — Airport officials believe there is a need to construct new airport terminals in Clark, Pampanga due to the increasing number of passengers at the Clark International Airport.
According to the figures of the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), the said airport has 1.4 million passengers this year, bigger than last year, which was at 1.3 million passengers.
Due to the increase, officials of CIAC believe there is a need to build another airport terminal.
“We are at the first phase. What does the first phase contain? The first phase contains a new terminal project. This means we will build a new terminal, new passenger terminal building,” CIAC CEO Mr. Alexander Cauguiran said.
“Aside from this building, we will construct as well a secondary road network that would connect the terminal to the SCTEX so that passengers will no longer have to pass through the middle of the zone. And then of course the transportation hub and the horizontal project. These five components are incorporated in the first phase,” he added.
The said project will begin in December of this year and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
“The government, President Duterte, and DOTR want the BCDA to finish it by the first quarter of 2020. From there, once the market becomes vibrant, we can see its results. It will take years before we can implement the second phase,” Cauguiran said.
The soon to be constructed terminal is expected to accommodate up to 8 million passengers.
With a second terminal, the Clark Airport can accommodate a total of more than 12 million passengers.
The construction of the new terminal is expected to cost the government P12 to P15 billion.
