Emirates SkyCargo begins daily flights to Clarke International Airport in Philippines

Dubai: Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, is set to increase its cargo capacity to the Philippines, when Emirates begins daily non-stop flights to Clarke International Airport from October 1, 2013.

Clark International Airport is located in the province of the Pampanga in Central Luzon, which is 80 kilometres to the north of Manila.

Central Luzon is one of the growth regions in the Philippines and is host to the country’s premium economic zones, the Clarke Freeport Zone and the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

Clarke International Airport will become Emirates second destination after Manila, the capital of the Philippines, to which Emirates has been operating flights since 1990, and due to the demand, has continued to increase its flight frequency on the route to its current triple daily, non-stop service.

With the new daily flight to Clarke International, Emirates SkyCargo will be able to provide more than 160 tonnes of additional cargo hold capacity each way per week.
