The new terminal in Clark Airport is expected to help decongest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and will accommodate an additional eight million passengers per year.

Formerly known as Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA), CIA is located in the Pampanga province in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines.

The airport is managed and operated by Philippines government-owned enterprise Clark International Airport Corporation.
