Clark International Airport Posts 14% Passenger Traffic Growth in 2025

Clark International Airport (CRK) delivered a strong performance in 2025, driven by increases in passenger volumes and air traffic.

CRK served a total of 2,753,101 passengers in 2025, a 14 percent increase from 2,404,888 in 2024, according to the latest airport traffic figures.

Domestic travel surged by 23 percent, 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 — a 10 percent increase.

System-wide airline capacity at Clark International Airport also increased in 2025. Total available seats rose by 12 percent to 3,767,345 in 2025 from 3,356,059 in 2024. This growth was driven by a 21 percent increase in domestic capacity and an 8 percent 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 percent to 12,117 in 2025 from 9,063 in 2024, while international movements climbed 5 percent to 10,628, compared with 10,159. Overall, system-wide flight movements increased 18 percent 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, airport officials expect continued momentum and project further growth on 2025’s gains.

“Looking ahead to 2026, we remain optimistic as airline operations continue to expand at Clark,” said 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.”
