Cebu Pacific at Clark (CRK): The Expat’s Gateway to the Tropics
As the largest low-cost carrier at Clark International Airport, Cebu Pacific connects the Central Luzon community to the rest of the Philippines and Asia with its signature “Every-one Should Fly” spirit.
A Legacy of Connection in Pampanga Est. 2008
For those of us living in Clark, Cebu Pacific isn’t just an airline; it’s the reason the airport exists as a world-class hub today. Cebu Pacific officially established its Clark Hub in 2008,, positioning several aircraft here to serve the growing Northern and Central Luzon market.
While other airlines hesitated to move away from Manila, Cebu Pacific leaned into Clark’s potential. They were among the first to offer direct international routes to Hong Kong and Singapore from CRK, proving that you didn’t need to endure the 3-hour trek to NAIA to see the world.

• New Terminal 2: Cebu Pacific operates from the stunning new terminal with touchless check-in.
