The Asian Aerospace Corporation (AAC) is expanding its operation in Clark Freeport Zone with its aviation safety hub, allotting P243.2 million to boost the company’s aviation safety and technical services in the country.

According to Clark Development Corporation (CDC), the agency’s President and CEO, Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera, and AAC CEO Peter Rodriguez signed the lease agreement for the expansion at the Clark Visitors Center in Clark Freeport on December 16, 2025.

The lease agreement covers a 1,848‑square‑meter facility to consolidate maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations.

Devanadera said that the expansion strengthens Clark’s aviation ecosystem, where maintenance and technical services complement airport operations and meet the industry’s demand for specialized engineers, technicians, and safety personnel.

“The work that you do is critical to aviation safety. Proper maintenance of aircraft components saves lives, and that is why Asian Aerospace is important not only to Clark, but to the Philippines and the world,” she added.

During his speech, Rodriguez cited AAC’s nationwide role in aviation safety. He added, “Asian Aerospace has been calibrating 87 airports across the Philippines for the past four administrations. Without calibration, aerodromes cannot operate safely.”

“This is one of the sensitive services we provide for the Philippine government, along with servicing airport rescue firefighting equipment nationwide. These operations build in‑country capability and create high‑value jobs for Filipinos,” Rodriguez said.

Aside from calibration and maintenance, the Clark facility will operate as an Aircraft Factory Service Center, supporting aircraft components, avionics, environmental control systems, and related services. These operations require long‑term training, licensing, and certification, sustaining demand for skilled aviation workers.

Established in 1996, AAC has operated in Clark since 2002. The company maintains a fleet of business jets and helicopters and serves as an authorized service center for aircraft manufacturers and airport equipment providers.

The company conducts flight calibration and maintenance services for more than 87 airports nationwide, ensuring navigation systems, runways, and safety equipment meet operational standards.
