We arrived at DMIA around 11.30am on Wednesday 22 August 2007. Took the Philtranco coach to Quezon City. It cost 300 Pesos.
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Diosdado Macapagal) (DMIA), also called Clark International Airport (IATA: CRK, ICAO: RPLC), is the main airport serving the immediate vicinity of the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) and the general area of Angeles City in the Philippines.
It is located on an area of the CSEZ formerly used as the airfield of the Clark Air Base, which was closed down in 1991 by the U.S. Air Force after the explosion of Mount Pinatubo, subsequently cleaned up, then reopened as the CSEZ. The airport is a focus city of Tiger Airways and serves as an alternate to its counterpart in Manila, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, which was deemed by some of the airlines serving this airport to have higher landing fees. Due to its proximity to Manila, the airport is often referred to as Manila-Clark[1] or Clark-Manila,[2] although the airport is located eighty-five kilometers northwest of Manila proper.
The airport is managed by the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), a government-owned and/or controlled corporation.
