Airphil Express is making Clark one of its major hubs in its on-going expansion growing program this year.

  Starting March 29 this year, the country's fastest-growing budget carrier is launching four new routes from the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark to Cebu, Davao, Kalibo, Aklan and Puerto Princes, Palawan. This will increase to 32 Airphil Express's total domestic destinations.

  "With its highly improved road network and increasing flights, Clark is setting out to become a natural entry point to major tourist destionation and a major hub for business and tourism in the country," says Alfredo Herrera, Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing of Airphil Express.

  Herrera said that by operating out of Clark, Airphil Express would be able to target emerging population centers in Pampanga and Central Luzon." It goes hand in hand with our commitment to help spur growth for the country's economy via the promotion of local tourism in the area," he adds.

  The new routes would kick off under this new flights schedule-Clark to Cebu route (v.v.) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; Clark to Kalibro route (v.v.) every Monday,Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; and Clark to Puerto Prinsesa route (v.v.) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

  Airphil Express is establishing a separate transfer hub at Clark to serve the immense volume of passengers that are expected to be shuttling to and from the area. The newly opened routes from Clark is also expected to allow for more visitors, who often travel for the purpose of business and leisure, to take advantage of Airphil Expess en route to enjoying resource-rich destinations in Clark and the nearby areas.
