HK Express, a company who controlled by the Hong Kong Airlines that took flight to Clark up to 2007, was found in 2005, and at the present time takes flight in at the minimum 56 goals of journey, taking in China, Japan and Thailand. The HK Express was enticed to the DMIA by the support of the Maxon Asia Telecom Corporation. The number of international and local passengers at the DMIA arrived at 533, 619 in 2007 or 1,462 passengers daily, a slight raise from 488,867 passengers in 2006 or 1,339 passengers per day. The number of passengers at the DMIA increased by 9 percent from 2006 to 2007. we hope that Hong Kong Express will it by 3 percent to 550,000 in 2008.
