Subic Bay International Airport, Commercial airport in Morong, Philippines.
Subic Bay International Airport is a commercial airport in Morong with a single runway running along the bay. It handles civilian passenger flights and cargo operations for Central Luzon using modern terminal facilities.
The airport was built in 1956 as a US naval air station and operated as a military facility for decades. It became a civilian airport after American forces left in 1992.
The airport connects travelers with heritage sites and natural landscapes across Zambales and Bataan provinces. It serves as a key hub for visitors exploring this part of Central Luzon.
The terminal handles around 6 million passengers annually and offers car rentals, food services, and efficient baggage systems. Allow extra time during travel planning since weather patterns in this tropical region can occasionally affect flight operations.
Building the airport required moving about 20 million cubic yards (15 million cubic meters) of earth, one of the largest earth-moving projects in Philippine aviation history. This massive undertaking demonstrates the scale of work needed to establish the facility at this coastal location.
