The campus will offer comprehensive programs and state-of-the-art facilities, positioned near Clark International Airport in the civil aviation complex, a statement showed.
Pilots, technicians and cabin crew
CIAC’s initiative responds to a global demand for 1.3 million aviation professionals, as projected by Canadian aviation training provider CAE Inc.
This includes 284,000 new pilots, 402,000 new technicians, and 599,000 new cabin crew members.
Major jobs driver
CIAC aims to make Clark the leading source of skilled aviation workers in the Philippines, including pilots, air traffic controllers, and aircraft mechanics.
The campus will feature technical colleges, research centers, and simulation facilities, aligning with industry upgrades to strengthen civil aviation education in the country.
Why Clark?
This move builds on the efforts led by Transportation Undersecretary Roberto Lim and aligns with initiatives like Airbus’ training programs and the Philippine State College of Aeronautics’ aviation campus.
Currently, three major MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) providers—Singapore Engineering, Lufthansa Technik, and Metrojet Engineering—operate in Clark, highlighting the area’s strong position in the aviation industry and its potential as a key regional player.
Managed by CIAC, the aviation complex houses the privately-run Clark International Airport, the Clark Global City business district, and about 50 companies involved in logistics and aviation.
