MANILA — Travelers who will be flying from Clark International Airport (CRK) will now be able to check in via SM City Clark, the Department of Transportation said on Friday.

The DOTr said it has signed a memorandum of understanding with SM City Clark and various stakeholders for a City Check-in Facility in SM City Clark mall.

This is meant to streamline the departure process at Clark International Airport and provide ease and convenience to travelers.

“This off-site check-in facility – a standard in various world-class airports – brings Clark Airport a step closer to its vision of becoming a premier aviation gateway in this logistics corridor,” said Transportation Undersecretary Roberto LIm.

Clark International Airport Corp (CIAC), the operator of the gateway, said the facility is an additional assistance to passengers departing through the CRK.

“The check-in facility inside a popular mall will definitely have a positive impact because, more than just an additional service, it will add to the convenience of CRK passengers,” said Arrey Perez, CIAC president and CEO.
