Royal Air Philippines has officially launched its cargo operations at Clark International Airport (CRK), marking a new chapter in the airline’s expanding aviation portfolio.
The milestone was celebrated with the arrival and blessing of the airline’s dedicated Airbus A321 Freighter (A321F) at the CRK tarmac, where Royal Air Philippines CEO Ed Novillas led the ceremonial inauguration alongside key stakeholders and aviation partners.
In a symbolic gesture, Novillas presented a miniature aircraft to Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation President and CEO Noel F. Manankil, highlighting the growing partnership between the airline and the CRK management.
With the launch of its cargo services, Royal Air joins other carriers in boosting Clark’s position as a strategic logistics hub in North and Central Luzon. The addition of the A321F, a mid-sized freighter known for its efficiency and flexible cargo capacity, is expected to meet the growing demand for air freight transport in the region.
As Clark International Airport continues to evolve into a premier gateway for both passengers and cargo, Royal Air’s entry into cargo operations reinforces the airport’s role in driving regional economic growth and enhancing trade connectivity across the Philippines and beyond.
