Several companies have expressed interest for Clark, which has been highlighted at the Singapore Air Show 2026 as the new global hub for maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) operation and aerospace investment opportunities at the recent 2026 Singapore Airshow 2026.
Held at the Changi Exhibition Centre in Singapore, the airshow, one of Asia’s largest aerospace and defense exhibitions, gathered global industry leaders, government officials, and corporate executives to present the latest developments in aviation and related technologies.
Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) President and CEO Jojit Alcazar said the agency’s participation aimed to attract more investments in aircraft MRO and other aerospace-related industries.
He said meetings with global aviation players opened opportunities for potential partnerships, particularly in helicopter maintenance and other specialized MRO services. Several companies expressed interest in exploring business prospects 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.
He added that the event 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 Clark Aviation Capital’s continued expansion as a competitive aviation hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
Alcazar cited the 2024 Philippine Aerospace Industry Roadmap, which projects the country’s aerospace sector to become one of the fastest-growing in the region.
He noted that Clark is positioning itself to meet the increasing demand for reliable MRO services as global aircraft fleets require regular maintenance while maintaining strict safety and efficiency standards.
Currently operating in Clark are some of the world’s largest MRO providers, SIA Engineering and Metrojet Engineering, which underscore Clark’s growing reputation in the aerospace sector.
CIAC said its long-term goal is to transform Clark Aviation Capital into a dynamic business and logistics hub and eventually the country’s leading global aviation center.
Alcazar emphasized that lessons learned from the airshow support the administration’s push under Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to attract more foreign investments and strengthen trade relations.
As the premier land and aviation development arm of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, CIAC is mandated to develop Clark Aviation Capital into a full-fledged aerotropolis.
It oversees the Clark aviation complex, where firms operate in industrial, commercial, mixed-use, warehousing, and manufacturing businesses, underscoring Clark’s steady transformation into a dynamic, aviation-driven hub.
