Findlay Millar Lumber Airstrip

The closure was due to economic reasons, directly linked to the decline and eventual cessation of operations of its owner, the Findlay Millar Timber Company. The Philippine logging industry faced significant downturns due to the depletion of timber resources, coupled with stricter government environmental regulations and logging bans imposed during that period. As the company's logging activities in Kolambugan wound down, their private support infrastructure, including the airstrip, became obsolete and was abandoned.

The site of the former airstrip is completely defunct and has been reclaimed by nature and local development. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint outline of a former runway, but the area is now heavily overgrown with grass and trees. Portions of the land have been converted to agricultural use (farmland) and have been encroached upon by residential houses and small-scale community structures. There are no remaining airport buildings or infrastructure, and the strip is entirely unusable for any form of aviation.

The Findlay Millar Lumber Airstrip was a private, corporate airfield. Its sole purpose was to support the extensive operations of the Findlay Millar Timber Company, a prominent American-owned logging firm in the Philippines during the mid-20th century. The airstrip was crucial for transporting company executives, engineers, high-priority personnel, urgent spare parts for machinery, and payroll to their remote logging concessions and sawmill in Kolambugan. In an era of poor road infrastructure, the airstrip provided a vital and rapid link to major cities like Manila. It was never a commercial airport for public use. The ICAO identifier 'PH-0155' is an unofficial code, likely assigned by aviation enthusiasts or for flight simulator databases, not by official civil aviation authorities.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The land has been repurposed, the infrastructure is gone, and the site is surrounded by local development, making any restoration logistically difficult and economically unviable. Furthermore, the transportation needs of the region, including Lanao del Norte, are now served by the modern and much larger Laguindingan Airport (IATA: CGY, ICAO: RPMY), which is located approximately 60-70 kilometers away, rendering a small, local airstrip in Kolambugan redundant.
