Subic Bay International Airport (Former US Naval Air Station Cubi Point)

Subic Bay International Airport (Former US Naval Air Station Cubi Point)



This used to be the Old Barrio Banicain. During Korean War, the US Navy relocated the entire barrio to what is now Barangay Banicain and built an air strip in support of the war effort; which was highlighted by the migration of thousands of Filipinos from neigboring provinces to the immediate area seeking employment.

The following airlines fly to Subic Bay International Airport:

* CR Airways (Hong Kong)
* China Airlines
o Mandarin Airlines (Taipei-Chiang Kai-shek)

Cargo airlines

* FedEx
* Vietnam Airlines
* Corporate Air

The airport was a hub of Federal Express, which was subsequently moved to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport starting 2005, with completion by 2008, after 10 years of using SBIA. The reason for the move was the impending decision of FedEx to use the Airbus A380, an aircraft that SBIA cannot support, especially with the little land the airport can expand to.
