Clark International Airport Unveils New Air Traffic Control Tower
What happened
Clark International Airport unveiled its new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), which is equipped with a new radar system and replaces a facility that was over 50 years old. BCDA and CRK Corp. jointly established the facility, which is part of a modernization effort to establish Clark as a premier logistics and transport hub in Asia.

Why it matters
The infrastructure upgrade is timely due to the expansion of logistics firms like FedEx and United Parcel Service, and the transfer of Lufthansa Technik Philippines operations. This modernization is intended to increase both domestic and international commercial flights at the airport.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines monitors and regulates flight operations and diversions at Clark International Airport.
