Diosdado Macapagal International Airport
(also known as DMIA and Clark Field) has been recognized as being one
of the fastest growing airports in all of the Philippines. The airport is growing at a fast rate, and with this a number of airlines have chosen Diosdado Macapagal International Airport as their newest hub or focus city.
Federal Express recently signed an extension of lease in Subic
Bay International Airport through 2010. The company also signed
an agreement to
reserve space for use as a potential hub at
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport. The reason for the move
would have been the company's
decision to use the Airbus A380, an aircraft
that its present Philippines airport Subic Bay International Airport cannot
support. However, FedEx
recently cancelled their order of A380 due to delays in delivery. They are
also exploring Baiyun Airport in China as a potential
hub.
National flag carrier Philippines Airlines and Clark International
Airport Corp. are seen to close by first semester of 2008 a deal that allows
PAL to
construct flight, maintenance, and catering facilities at DMIA. PAL will
be investing US$50 million in putting up strategic facilities at
the airport to
construct its catering, ground handling and aircraft maintenance
facilities. PAL could move in at DMIA after the second phase of the
airport's
expansion project.

Tair Airways plans to operate daily passenger flights to and from Jeddah
and Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia initially. They finally
obtained a Temporary Operator’s Permit last October 27, 2006. The Philippine
Air Transportation Office has already granted them an Air Carrier Operating
Certificate that has a 12-month validity starting October 28, 2006. However,
as of February 2008, Tair Airways has yet to commence flights.
