E noi ana i ka noʻonoʻo maikaʻi. Ke holo nei i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Clark, 70 km ʻĀkau o Manila me he mea lā e hoʻi i ka wā i hala. Ke haʻalele nei ma hope o Metro Manila me kāna ʻōnaehana alanui paʻa paʻa, komo nā kaʻa i kahi alaloa hou e hoʻopili ana i ke kapikala Filipino i ka Clark-Subic Area i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā pā paddy a me nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi. Ma muli o ka puka i lawe ʻia i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Clark, hiki paha ke kaʻa i ke ala kuaʻāina. ʻO ke kahua mokulele ʻo Clark ma mua he kahua mokulele US. A ʻo ke komo ʻana i ke kahua mokulele liʻiliʻi, paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo i kekahi lā e hāʻawi ʻia kahi 80 miliona mau mea hele ma ka mokulele.
Akā i kēia manawa, loaʻa iā Clark Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) he 600,000 wale nō nā mea kaʻa a ua manaʻo ʻia e ka Philippines Air Transport Office ʻo ia ke ala nui no nā mokulele mokulele. “Ua maikaʻi loa nā kuanaʻike i ka makahiki 2009 me ka ulu ʻana o nā huahelu pālua ma waena o Ianuali a me Kepakemapa. E paʻa paha mākou i hoʻokahi miliona mau kaʻa ma waena o 2011 a me 2012", wahi a Victor Jose Luciano, Pelekikena a Luna Nui o Clark International Airport Corporation.
Ua hoʻokō ʻia kahi hoʻoikaika nui i ka makahiki 2008 i ka wā i kau inoa ai ʻo Pelekikena Gloria Macapagal Arroyo i ke kauoha e hoʻololi i ke kahua mokulele i ka Premier Air Gateway o Manila. ʻO ka ʻili o ke kahua mokulele ʻaneʻane ʻekolu manawa ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport i kēia manawa - 2,387 ha i ka nui a he 800 ha wale nō ke hoʻohana ʻia nei. Ua haʻalele ka US Air Force i ka hale i hoʻolako ʻia me ʻelua mau ala holo o 3,200 m hiki iā lāua ke mālama i nā mokulele nui e like me ka Airbus.
I kēia manawa, hoʻopili ʻia ʻo DMIA e nā mea lawe haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ʻeono (Cebu Pacific, AirAsia, Tiger Airways, Spirit of Manila, SEAir a me Zest Air) a me ka mea lawe hoʻoilina ʻo Asiana mai Korea. Ua hoʻolaha mua ʻo Jin Air e hoʻomaka koke i nā mokulele mai Seoul a Clark. Wahi a Luciano, hiki koke mai kahi mea lawe kaʻa ʻo Gulf ma ke kahua mokulele, e mālama ana i ka miliona mau limahana Filipino e noho ana ma ka Hikina Waena. "Ke hilinaʻi nei nō hoʻi mākou e hoʻokipa i kahi kahua hou o AirAsia ma Asia Hikina Hema. Ua kamaʻilio koʻikoʻi mākou me kāna hoʻokele, "hoʻohui ʻo Luciano. ʻO ke keiki hou ma ka poloka ʻo ia ʻo Spirit of Manila i hoʻomaka i Nowemapa i nā ala i Macau, Taipei a me Bahrain.
ʻO ka pilikia nui i kēia manawa ʻo ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka terminal hou. Ua hoʻopaneʻe ke kūkulu ʻana i kēia manawa akā me he mea lā e hoʻomaka ana ka hana ma ka ʻāpana mua o ka pahu i kēia makahiki. Hoʻohui ʻia kahi hale kiʻi hou a me kahi papahele ʻelua i ke kikowaena o kēia manawa e hoʻonui ai i ka hiki mai ʻelua a ʻelima miliona mau kaʻa. ʻO ka manaʻo o Clark e loaʻa koke i kahi ʻano paʻa. Ua ʻae ʻia nā hoʻolālā e hoʻolālā i kahi pahu lua e lilo i kumu o ka ʻīpuka intercontinental e hiki mai ana. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kahi hoʻolālā nui e Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) i Nowemapa 2008 e ʻimi ana i kahi pahu lua me ka mana mua no ʻehiku miliona mau kaʻa. ʻO nā mea hana ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kahi kikowaena kūʻai, nā ala kaʻa hou, ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka apron a me kahi ala holo, kahi pahu ukana a me kahi hale kiaʻi mana hou. Kuhi ʻia ka huina kālā no kēia māhele ma US $ 150 miliona kālā me ka hoʻopau ʻana i manaʻo ʻia ma 2013. "Ma ia manawa, e hoʻolaʻa ʻia ʻo Terminal 2 i nā kaʻa honua me ka Terminal 1 e lawe ana i nā ala āpau āpau", wahi a Luciano. I ka wā lōʻihi, hiki i ka DMIA ke mālama i 80 miliona mau kaʻa.
Ua hōʻike koke aku nei nā nūpepa kūloko i ka hoihoi o kahi ʻoihana ma Kuwait, ʻo Almal Investment Company, e hoʻomohala i ka DMIA no ka huina kālā he US $ 1.2 biliona. Ma kahi noi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Dekemaba 24, 2009, ua hōʻike ka hui i kona makemake e hoʻomohala i nā ʻāpana kīwila āpau o DMIA Terminal 1, 2, a me 3 e pili ana i ka hoʻolālā kumu. E hoʻolilo koke ʻo Almal Investment Company i $ 100 miliona no ka hana mua o Terminal 2.
ʻO kekahi pilikia koʻikoʻi e pili ana i Manila. I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua mau hola ma ke kaʻa e hōʻea i ke kahua mokulele a pono e hana wikiwiki ʻia e hoʻonui i ke alaloa a hāʻawi i kahi kaʻa lehulehu kūpono. "Ua ʻike nui mākou i ka saturation o ka ʻōnaehana alanui ma Manila akā pono e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi me ka wehe ʻana i ka makahiki 2010 o kahi alanui apo hou ma Quezon City. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka ʻĀpana Commuter Train System e hāʻawi pū i kahi loulou kaʻaahi pololei mai Clark a i Manila Northern Station, "wahi a Luciano.
ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana o DMIA ma ke ʻano he ʻīpuka Kuhina Nui o ka ʻāina ʻaʻole ia e pani ʻia i ka hale mokulele ʻo Manila International. E hoʻihoʻi ʻia ʻo NAIA i kahi mokulele kūloko me nā mokulele a pau i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma Terminal 2 a me Terminal 3. a no ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2010, aia kekahi mau hanana maikaʻi ma NAIA. Me he mea lā ʻo ka hale mokulele hou loa o Manila Airport, ʻo Terminal 3, e lilo i home hou no ʻehā mau mea lawe kaʻa honua - ʻo ka Korean Air, Japan Airlines, Thai Airways a me Singapore Airlines. I kēia manawa, ʻo Cebu Pacific a me PAL Express wale nō e hana mai ka Terminal i kūkulu ʻia e hoʻokipa i 13 miliona mau kaʻa. I ka wā lōʻihi, e lawe ʻo Terminal 3 i nā mea lawe honua āpau me ka Terminal 1 e pani ana i kona mau puka i ka lehulehu. A hiki i kēia manawa, ua makemake nā mea lawe haole e noho ma ka Terminal 1 kahiko ma muli o nā pilikia kānāwai o Terminal 3 ma waena o ke aupuni a me ka consortium nāna i kūkulu i ka hale.
