Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation has announced plans for the construction of a second runway at Clark International Airport is expected to begin in 2026 in the Philippines. The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), which owns the land and is overseeing the project, is currently tendering the detailed engineering design, expected to be completed by end-2025.
The additional runway will enhance the airport’s capacity and redundancy, especially for growing express freight and passenger demand. LIPAD believes the second runway will bolster Clark’s potential as a logistics and aviation hub. Currently, the airport operates with a single runway handling up to 40 aircraft movements per hour. Passenger traffic is projected to reach 3.4 million in 2024.
