Introduction

The Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) serves as the secondary gateway to Manila located about 2 hours drive north of it. This airport lies in the former US Clark Airbase in Angeles City which was later converted into an international airport after the departure of the US Bases in the early 1990's. This airport was named after the Philippines' 9th President, Diosdado Macapagal, father of the current president.

DMIA is envisioned to be the new premiere gateway to the Philippines to replace the now crowded Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) that is within the Metro Manila area.

Getting there and away

The Philtranco bus company provide shuttle services between DMIA and Metro Manila at its terminal in Pasay and stops at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong.
