The world’s largest passenger airliner landed at the Clark International Airport (CRK) today (August 19).
The one-off Emirates’ Airbus A380 flight from Dubai carried 405 passengers.
The event is a milestone for both Emirates and CRK, with Emirates as the first airline to operate A380 aircraft in Clark.
“A few days ago, LIPAD celebrated its first anniversary as the operator of CRK. Having the first scheduled A380 service in Clark on the week of our anniversary is a very welcome event especially during these challenging times. Together with our partners, we hope to make the journey of our arriving passengers as seamless and hassle-free as possible, while adhering to the guidelines set by our IATF. It is our goal that within 3 days time, our passengers should be on their way home after undergoing testing and quarantine,” said Bi Yong Chungunco, Chief Executive Officer of Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD) Corp operates CRK.
Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade led officials from Emirates, the United Arab Emirates and the French Embassy in welcoming the A380 passengers.
