CLARK FREEPORT — Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) President and Chief Executive Officer Arrey Perez has enumerated their upcoming projects aimed at turning the Clark aviation complex into a premier logistics hub.
Perez shared the 7-Flagship Projects of CIAC which include the creation of a direct road link to the new Clark International Airport.
He also mentioned a national food terminal, urban renewal and heritage conservation program, Clark entertainment and events hub, expansion and upgrading of road networks and utilities, detailed site development of second runway, and a new CIAC headquarters.
“These projects will be carried out through public-private partnerships,” Perez said during Pampanga Press Club’s News at Hues press briefing at Park Inn by Radisson Clark on November 21.
