CLARK FREEPOT — Passenger traffic at the Clark International Airport went up by 14% to 2,753,101 from 2,404,888 in 2024, according to the latest airport traffic figures.
Domestic travel surged by 23%, with CRK handling 1,042,589 passengers, up from 847,160 in 2024. International demand also rose, with 1,710,512 passengers in 2025, compared with 1,557,728 the previous year for a 10% increase.
System-wide airline capacity at CRK also increased in 2025. Total available seats rose by 12% to 3,767,345 in 2025 from 3,356,059 in 2024. This growth was driven by a 21% increase in domestic capacity and an 8% rise in international capacity, largely the result of airlines adding flight frequencies on existing routes.
The airport’s air traffic movements also climbed. Domestic movements rose 34% to 12,117 in 2025 from 9,063 in 2024, while international movements climbed 5% to 10,628, compared with 10,159. Overall, system-wide flight movements increased 18% to 22,745 in 2025 from 19,222 in 2024.
CRK’s operations are managed and operated by Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corp., a consortium behind the airport’s growth, serving as both manager and operator of the facility.
“2025 was a year of steady growth for Clark International Airport,” said Noel Manankil, president and CEO of LIPAD. “The increase in passenger traffic and improved load factors were supported by stronger airline partnerships. This was also aided by the gradual transfer of turboprop operations from Metro Manila and Clark’s role as a reliable alternative gateway outside the capital.”
“Looking ahead to 2026, we remain optimistic as airline operations continue to expand at Clark,” furthered Manankil. “Cebu Pacific is expected to complete the transfer of all its turboprop operations to Clark by March, which will further increase connectivity, support continued passenger growth, and make travel more convenient for passengers from Luzon and nearby regions.”
