Clark International Airport, formerly known as the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, is in Pampanga while NAIA – also known as Manila Airport – is the main international gateway to the Philippines. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte aims to finish the new passenger terminal, which would bring Clark Airport’s existing capacity of four million passengers annually to 12 million passengers, by 2020. With the expansion, the government hopes to lure more travellers to Clark Airport, helping ease congestion that is plaguing NAIA. The expansion of Clark International Airport is among the first hybrid public-private partnership deals that were rolled out under the Duterte administration. Despite its capacity of four million passengers annually, it serves about a quarter of that figure.
