Clark, meanwhile, is based in Pampanga, a province in the Central Luzon region, and is an established hub for business processing services and tourism. Clark International Airport is located in the Freeport Zone, a redevelopment of the former Clark Air Base, previously a US Air Force base in the Philippines.
The B777-300ER operating the daily circular route will feature a two-class configuration, with 42 seats in business class and 386 in economy.
