Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) promoted the Clark Aviation Capital to global aerospace players during the recently concluded Singapore Airshow 2026 at the Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore.

CIAC Board Director and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines Director General Raul Del Rosario said the aviation complex was presented as a future investment hub for industry stakeholders attending what is considered Asia’s largest aerospace and defense exhibition.

Government officials and corporate executives gathered at the event to showcase the latest developments in aviation and related technologies. CIAC joined the Bases Conversion and Development Authority and the Department of Transportation at the Philippine Pavilion, together with private partners LIPAD and Bertaphil. BCDA Vice President Kenneth Peralta accompanied Del Rosario during the airshow.

CIAC President and CEO Jojit Alcazar said the agency’s participation aimed to attract more investments in aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services and other aerospace-related industries.

He said discussions with global aviation companies opened potential partnerships, particularly in helicopter maintenance and specialized MRO services, with several firms expressing interest in exploring business opportunities in Clark.

“CIAC’s participation strengthened our investment ties and highlighted Clark’s readiness to support the growing demands of the global aerospace industry,” Alcazar said.

Alcazar added that the airshow also allowed CIAC officials to observe global best practices in aviation operations, safety standards, technology adoption and workforce development. These insights, he said, will guide the continued expansion of Clark Aviation Capital as a competitive aviation hub in the Asia-Pacific region.

He cited the 2024 Philippine Aerospace Industry Roadmap, which projects the country’s aerospace sector to become one of the fastest-growing in the region. Clark, he said, is positioning itself to meet rising global demand for reliable MRO services as aircraft fleets expand and require regular maintenance under strict safety and efficiency standards.

Currently operating in Clark are major MRO providers SIA Engineering and Metrojet Engineering, reinforcing the aviation complex’s growing reputation in the aerospace sector.

CIAC said its long-term objective is to transform Clark Aviation Capital into a dynamic business and logistics hub and eventually the country’s leading global aviation center.

As the premier land and aviation development arm of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, CIAC is tasked with developing Clark Aviation Capital into a full-fledged aerotropolis. It oversees the Clark aviation complex, where companies operate in industrial, commercial, mixed-use, warehousing and manufacturing sectors, reflecting Clark’s continuing evolution into an aviation-driven hub.
