The Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) is accelerating the implementation of infrastructure projects to further develop the Clark Aviation Capital, the prime land surrounding the privately-run Clark International Airport.
In a statement on Thursday, Nov. 7, Jojit Alcazar, CIAC president, said the 2,367-hectare Clark Aviation Capital is “distinctly viable and marketable and must be developed soonest to ensure the flow of government revenues to contribute to the nation’s economy.”
The CIAC, which transitioned last September from a real estate manager to a land developer, is focusing on the architectural and engineering design of road networks.
Their priorities also include upgrading street lights on major avenues and developing picnic areas, parks, and open spaces.
Alcazar said these improvements aim to attract investors in aviation, cargo and logistics, and commercial enterprises.
He added that CIAC will strengthen aviation infrastructure and services, develop a logistics hub that supports national food security, and position Clark Aviation Capital as a premier destination for MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) tourism.
The firm also plans to establish partnerships for world-class aviation education and training and create spaces that will drive trade, business, and economic growth, along with sustainable urban development.
Alcazar, with over 27 years of management experience, previously served the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) as its chief advisor in information, communications, and technology, especially during the implementation of the Build Build Build Program.
