Gateway to Lubang Island in the Philippine archipelago.

Location

Lubang, Philippines

Lubang Airport (IATA: LBX, ICAO: RPLU) is a small domestic airport serving Lubang Island in Occidental Mindoro province, the Philippines. It provides air access to this relatively remote island group located southwest of Manila in the South China Sea. The airport operates limited scheduled and charter services connecting Lubang to Manila and nearby destinations. It plays an important role for island residents who would otherwise rely solely on sea transport to reach the mainland. Lubang Island is historically notable as the place where Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda continued fighting until 1974, unaware that World War II had ended. The airport serves the modest tourism and local community needs of the island.
