Clark International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Clark; Kapampangan: Pangyatung Sulapawan ning Clark) (IATA: CRK, ICAO: RPLC), also known as Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA; Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Diosdado Macapagal; Kapampangan: Pangyatung Sulapawan ning Diosdado Macapagal), is the main airport serving the immediate vicinity of the Clark Freeport Zone and the general area of Angeles City in the Philippines. It also serves the northern and central regions of Luzon; and, being 85 kilometers (53 mi) from the older Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) that serves Manila, DMIA also serves Metro Manila and its immediate vicinity. It is located on an area of the freeport zone formerly utilized as the Clark Air Base, which was closed in late 1991 by the U.S. Air Forces after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.
The airport is managed by the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), a government-owned and/or controlled corporation.
