“Our vision for Clark International Airport is to be the country’s premier gateway by revolutionizing the way we travel”

LIPAD Corporation is JG Summit’s first successful foray into Philippine infrastructure development under the Public-Private Partnership arrangement. Through its investment in Clark Airport, JG Summit aims to help strengthen the infrastructure capacity in Northern and Central Luzon for the sustainable and inclusive economic growth of the region, in line with the conglomerate’s strong commitment to nation-building. This venture also provides potential synergistic value with the group’s property arm, which holds a significant land bank in Luzon, and its airline business, which has been recently adding new routes from Clark, thereby increasing connectivity to Northern Luzon and growing its network outside Manila airport.
On August 16, 2019, LIPAD Corporation was formally awarded the O&M (Operations and Management) Project of the Clark International Airport. This is the first Public-Private Partnership awarded under the Duterte Administration.
The project has 3 components:
  • The handover of the existing terminal which can accommodate up to 4.2 million passengers annually;
  • Fitting out and operating the new terminal building that is projected to accommodate up to 8 million passengers annually; and
  • The management of the leases of the surrounding areas for the general aviation industry, among others.
After only 4.5 months of managing Clark Airport, LIPAD Corporation ended the year 2019 with 44% growth on air traffic movement and 50% growth on passengers, hitting 4 million passengers on December 31, 2019.
At present, Clark International Airport covers 19 domestic and 14 international destinations serving 686 weekly flights from a total of 18 airlines. LIPAD Corporation is committed to working towards expanding this network, connecting Clark to more domestic and international points.
