CLARK International Airport (CRK) said its passenger volume hit 2.75 million in 2025, a 14-percent year-on-year growth from 2.40 million in 2024.
According to its latest airport traffic figures, domestic travel surged by 23 percent to 1.04 million passengers, up from 847,160 in 2024.
International demand also rose, with 1.71 million passengers in 2025, compared to 1.55 million the previous year or a 10-percent increase.
System-wide airline capacity also expanded in 2025. Total available seats grew by 12 percent to 3.76 million in 2025 from 3.35 million in 2024. This was driven by a 21-percent increase in domestic capacity and an 8-percent rise in international capacity, due to airlines adding flight frequencies on existing routes.
The airport also saw an uptick in flight activity throughout 2025. Domestic movements led the growth with a 34-percent surge, reaching 12,117 flights compared to 9,063 in 2024.
International operations remained steady, growing 5 percent to 10,628 movements. Collectively, the airport’s system-wide flight movements reached 22,745, up by 18 percent from the previous year’s 19,222.
CRK’s operations are managed by the Luzon International Premier Airport Development Corp. consortium.
“2025 was a year of steady growth for Clark International Airport,” president and CEO Noel Manankil said.
He noted that the increase in passenger traffic and improved load factors were supported by stronger airline partnerships.
“This was also aided by the gradual transfer of turboprop operations from Metro Manila and Clark’s role as a reliable alternative gateway outside the capital,” he explained.
“Looking ahead to 2026, we remain optimistic as airline operations continue to expand at Clark. Cebu Pacific is expected to complete the transfer of all its turboprop operations to Clark by March, which will further increase connectivity, support continued passenger growth and make travel more convenient for passengers from Luzon and nearby regions,” Manankil added.
