DITO Telecommunity, in partnership with Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation, elevates the digital experience at Clark International Airport with a PHP 50 million investment in high-speed Wi-Fi services for the next two years. This collaboration aligns with the airport’s vision of becoming a world-class air gateway by providing passengers and stakeholders with reliable high-speed internet connectivity powered by DITO’s 5G infrastructure.

With the launch of DITO’s free Wi-Fi at Clark International Airport, passengers can experience secure, seamless, and optimized use of fast internet access, letting them stay connected, stream content, and work efficiently before boarding their flights. This connectivity supports the airport’s mission to provide domestic and international passengers with a globally competitive travel experience.

Eric Alberto, President and CEO of DITO Telecommunity, shared, “At DITO, we are driven by a vision of a brighter future for the Filipino people, powered by our 5G technology. We now serve millions of Filipinos and actively engage in community-building efforts, government programs, and cultural celebrations nationwide. Adding to this mission is to ensure we also provide convenient and accessible internet access to tourism gateways in the country. This partnership with Clark International Airport symbolizes our shared commitment to innovation and excellence, showcasing what we can achieve when we unite our strengths.”

To further elevate passengers’ experience, DITO deploys working tables, charging stations, and SIM vending machines at key locations inside the airport. Working tables are equipped with charging stations that allow passengers to charge their devices while relaxing or working on the go. Kiosk-type charging stations offer quick and accessible solutions for passengers needing a battery boost for their travels, while SIM card vending machines are also available for travelers to easily purchase DITO SIM cards for reliable connectivity upon arrival.

As the travel and tourism industry steadily recovers from the pandemic, DITO is committed to improving services for Filipinos and welcoming tourists to the country. In 2022, Clark International Airport recorded 629,000 international tourists and 140,000 domestic passengers, highlighting its role as a key regional transport hub. This year, the total passenger count is already at 948,608 for the first half and is expected to reach 2 million by year-end.

By making the internet accessible and inclusive, DITO helps welcome visitors to the Philippines, contributing to the nation’s advancement and supporting the growth of the tourism industry.

“As we look ahead, DITO remains committed to bridging the digital divide and contributing meaningfully to the betterment of our nation. Our focus will always be on empowering our fellow Filipinos and ensuring that we uplift our country together. Thank you once again for joining us today as we begin this exciting new chapter. Together, let us embrace the power of connectivity and pave the way for a brighter future for all,” Alberto concluded.
