By Victor Jose I. Luciano Home is where the heart is. The phrase rings true to me as I retraced my steps back home to Pampanga province – home to the illustrious Luciano family of Magalang, Pampanga – back in 2001 when I was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the state- run Clark Development Corporation. Bowing out with honor Offered thrice by no less than former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to head the state-run Clark International Airport Corporation in 2006, I could not simply refuse. At CRK, Luciano leaves a legacy of more airlines, seat entitlements and an airport that is ready to join the big league And so I became President and CEO of CIAC in October 1, 2006, a period of challenges at the Clark Civil Aviation Complex as we struggled to bring in more commercial flights at the once listless Clark airport, to increase seat entitlements for Clark through bilateral air talks with other nations, to increase the capacity of the airport and so on. Inviting airlines to operate in Clark airport is not a simple walk in the park. More so, getting more seat entitlements for the Clark route during crucial bilateral air talks overseas was a delicate balance between reciprocity and the economic well-being of the country. Increasing the capacity of the Clark airport is something that both the Arroyo and Aquino administrations have supported and for that we are forever indebted. But even before I accepted the CIAC post back in 2006, I can humbly say that I had been instrumental to the entry of Asiana Airlines, the first commercial passenger airline that launched flights between Clark and Incheon, South Korea and the rest as they say was history. I was then EVP/COO of the Clark Development Corporation and prior to that served as President GSA for Asiana Airlines of the Transnational Air Services Corp; Consumer Division President of the Transnational Diversified Group, Inc.; and Managing Director of Asiana Philippines GSA, Inc. My stint at Asiana Airlines helped a lot in convincing the airline to launch the first commercial passenger flight out of Clark. The Clark airport’s first full service international passenger airline – Asiana Airlines came at a time when no one seemed to be interested in launching flights out the Clark By Victor Jose I. Luciano airport fearing the volcanic dust of the post-Pinatubo eruptions may affect the operations of jet engines. But in October 2003, Asiana launched its first flight out of the Clark airport reviving the interest of airlines, businessmen and the communities in Central and Nothern Luzon in the Clark airport, once the former Mac Terminal of US Air Force. My tenure at CIAC comes at a time when the world economies have been experiencing the economic pinch. We survived the economic meltdown to bring about a semblance of positive changes at the Clark International Airport in terms of more flights by the leading budget and full-service airlines – Tiger Airways, AirAsia Berhad, Cebu Pacific, Jin Air, Seair, Dragon Air, Qatar Airways, etc. Airlines may have come and go but there are just realities in the airline business that we have to comprehend with. We just have to lead on and continue. Let me enumerate the developments that transpired at the Clark Civil Aviation Complex during the past eight years: q $9.9M Clark Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) q Entry of new routes and more frequency: Asiana Airlines, Tiger Airways, AirAsia Berhad, Cebu Pacific, Jin Air, Seair, Dragon Air, Qatar Airways, etc. q Berthaphil IV Logistics Park q $3M Gate Gourmet/Miascor Inflight Catering Services q Inauguration of the Expanded Clark Passenger Terminal Building (2008) q SIA Engineering MRO Facility q Metrojet MRO Facility Luciano, known as ‘The q Additional Air Entitlements for CRK in 2009 with the following countries: Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Australia, Brunei, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, Libya, Oman, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, Egypt, Findland, Germany, Hong Kong, Father of Budget Airlines’ is India, Iran, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Palau, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Vietnam an effective marketing man q ISO 9001:2008-Clark International Passenger Facilitation Process q Participation in World Route Forum q Expanded Passenger Terminal Building – 2.5M passengers per yr capacity with that brought forth the vibrant two passenger boarding bridges, an expanded concession area, VIP lounge areas, X-Ray walk-thru machines, Flight Information Display System (FIDS), CCTV system and developments at the once public address system. q Phase 2 Expansion of the CRK Terminal with a capacity of 5 million passengers q Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) “Low Cost Airport of the Year 2006.” listless Clark International q “Airport of the Year” Award for airport serving below 15 million annual passengers category at the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Aerospace and Defense Airport.
