The Philippines’ aviation industry has organized its first-ever official presence at the Singapore Airshow, with a new national pavilion at the event. Led by a consortium of organizations with a shared interest in rebuilding the country’s somewhat patchy reputation in the aviation sector, the initiative more specifically promotes opportunities around Clark International Airport, the former U.S. military base located 60 miles north of the capital Manila.

The new Philippine Aviation pavilion in Changi Exhibition Center’s Hall C enjoys the backing of a mix of government and industry groups, including the Philippines Department of Transportation, the country’s Civil Aviation Authority, the Bases Conversion Development Authority, and the Civil Aviation Authority. Berthaphil, a long-standing real estate investor at the airport, is directly involved in the development of the Clark Freeport initiative to draw new companies to the underused site.
