About Lubang Airport

Overview

Lubang Airport serves the Lubang Island area in the Philippines, located approximately 130 kilometers southwest of Manila. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 43 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local region and surrounding maritime areas.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of island environments. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer developments and wind shifts, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

Lubang Airport features a single asphalt runway (07/25) measuring 4,135 feet in length, suitable for smaller aircraft and regional operations. The airport's geographical positioning on Lubang Island offers unique navigational challenges related to surrounding maritime terrain and potential offshore wind patterns.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 provides a primary approach axis aligned with the island's geographical orientation. Given the runway's moderate length and coastal environment, pilots should carefully evaluate aircraft performance parameters and approach stability, particularly during crosswind conditions.
