CIAC, Singapore firms team up for development of Clark aviation campus

MANILA, Philippines — State-run Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) has entered into partnerships with Singaporean aviation companies for the development of the Clark International Aviation Campus.

CIAC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Dviation Training Centre Sdn. Bhd. for cooperation in aviation training and development.

The Dviation Group provides comprehensive aviation services including aircraft acquisition, operations and technical support.

A separate MOU was inked by CIAC with ST Engineering Urban Solutions Ltd. to explore collaboration in developing smart city and aviation technologies at the Clark aviation complex.

The initiative aims to support the area’s growth through sustainable and intelligent infrastructure.

Another agreement was entered into with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University–Asia Ltd. to explore joint efforts in aviation education, training and workforce development.

Embry-Riddle is globally recognized as one of the largest universities specializing in aviation and aerospace.

CIAC president and CEO Joseph Alcazar said the partnerships affirm the government-owned corporation’s commitment to building strong ties with global industry leaders to advance Clark’s role as a leading aviation hub in the Philippines.

Alcazar said the partnerships are aimed at sharing expertise to help establish Clark’s own Clark International Aviation Campus as part of its seven flagship projects, a key component of CIAC’s broader vision to transform Clark into the country’s premier aviation and logistics hub.

“Aviation in Singapore is a key component of its successful economy and we’re fortunate to forge mutually beneficial relationships with leading institutions here,” he said.

The Clark International Aviation Campus is part of the broader Clark Aviation Capital, which includes the Clark International Airport, Clark Global City and over 60 locators across aviation, logistics, commercial and manufacturing sectors.

The complex is managed by CIAC and positioned as the country’s premier aviation-related and logistics complex.
