Transport dep’t to set up services at Clark airport targeting manufacturers
THE Department of Transportation (DoTr) said it signed an agreement with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to enhance services for Industrial, Manufacturing, Transport (IMT) users of Clark International Airport.
“This will foster market access and opportunities in Central Luzon. But more than anything, there will be new economic activities,” Transportation Acting Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez said in a statement on Thursday.
The Department of Transportation (DoTr) said the agreement will advance the air transport and logistics services industry.
Mr. Lopez said the agreement is critical for Central Luzon’s aviation and aerospace industries.
“President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. directed the DoTr and BCDA to explore ways to foster market access opportunities and facilitate efficient passenger movement at Clark,” the DoTr said.
“This will bring in more manufacturing activity and more transport enterprises linked to Clark International Airport. It also means a bigger economic contribution from Clark. Our role at BCDA is to make sure the right infrastructure is in place so the airport can expand, and logistics and transport firms can operate here with ease,” BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang said.
The agreement was signed by the BCDA, the DoTr and Clark International Airport operator LIPAD Corp.
The partners will explore the feasibility of implementing incentive programs to attract and establish IMT businesses and related services. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
