Cheap flights to Cubi Pt NAS

  • Cubi Point Naval Air Station (NAS) was a United States Navy installation located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It was originally established in 1951 as an air facility for the U.S. Navy and was later expanded to serve as a major support base during the Vietnam War.
  • Cubi Point NAS played a crucial role in supporting U.S. military operations in the region, serving as a hub for naval aviation and logistics. It had a large airfield, maintenance facilities, and support infrastructure to accommodate various aircraft, including fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, and cargo aircraft.
  • The base was strategically located near Subic Bay, which was a major deep-water port for the U.S. Navy. It provided essential services such as fueling, maintenance, and repair for naval vessels.
  • In 1992, the Philippine government decided not to renew the lease of the base, and it was subsequently closed down. The closure was part of the overall reduction of U.S. military presence in the Philippines. The area where the base was located is now part of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and is used for commercial and industrial purposes.
