CLARK – Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) marked another milestone in the realization of the Clark AeroDistrict as Lufthansa Technik Philippines broke ground on its new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO)
facility within the airport complex.
The new facility, built on a 157,000-square-meter site, represents a three-digit-million-dollar investment and is expected to create around
1,200 highly skilled jobs. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2028.
This is Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ second location in the country, complementing its long-established facility at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila. The company is a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and MacroAsia Corporation.
The development further strengthens Clark’s aviation ecosystem and reinforces the airport’s role as a strategic hub for aviation, logistics, and aerospace-related industries in the Philippines.
Josephine Gotianun Yap, Chairperson of the LIPAD Consortium and Vice Chairperson of Filinvest Development Corporation, welcomed Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ decision to expand in Clark.
“This investment is a strong vote of confidence in Clark, in Filipino talent, and in the long-term growth of our country’s aviation industry. Together, we are transforming Clark into a major aviation hub—not only for the Philippines, but for the wider Asia-Pacific region,” she said.
Noel Manankil, President and CEO of LIPAD Corporation, said the groundbreaking reflects the continued realization of the Clark AeroDistrict.
“Lufthansa Technik Philippines is an important addition to the Clark AeroDistrict. Together with global industry leaders such as FedEx Express and UPS, it strengthens the ecosystem taking shape around Clark International Airport and reinforces Clark’s growing role as a preferred destination for aviation, logistics, and globally
competitive industries.”
The new center will provide widebody maintenance, repair and overhaul services and significantly expand Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ maintenance capacity. It will feature a paint shop and workshops for non-destructive testing, further enhancing the country’s capabilities in aircraft maintenance.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines currently specializes in the MRO of Airbus A330, A340 and A380 aircraft, as well as the Boeing 777. The Clark facility will also allow the company to expand its portfolio to include the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787.
