Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date of closure is not publicly documented. As a private heliport, it likely ceased regular operations gradually and was subsequently delisted from active aviation databases due to prolonged inactivity, likely sometime in the 2010s. It was not subject to a formal, publicly announced closure like a commercial airport.

Reason for Closure

The heliport's cessation of operations was due to it being a private facility whose use diminished over time. It was owned by A. Brown Company Inc. (ABCI) for corporate purposes. The 'closure' was a result of the owner no longer having a regular operational need for it, leading to its de-facto inactivity and removal from official registers. It was not closed due to military conversion, a specific accident, or broad economic reasons affecting public infrastructure.

Current Status

The physical helipad, including the 'H' marking, is still visible on the roof of the Xavier Sports & Country Club within the Xavier Estates subdivision. However, the heliport is considered inactive and is no longer listed as an official, operational facility by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). The site itself remains an active, private country club and clubhouse.

Historical Significance

ABCI Heliport was a private rooftop helipad located atop the clubhouse of Xavier Estates, a high-end residential subdivision developed by A. Brown Company Inc. (ABCI). Its historical significance is purely local and corporate. It was used for the private transport of company executives, potential investors, and VIP guests, allowing them to travel to and from the developer's properties while bypassing city traffic. The heliport served as a symbol of prestige and exclusivity for the Xavier Estates development, highlighting the luxury amenities offered to its residents and stakeholders. It never handled commercial or public operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no public plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. As a private asset, any potential reactivation is entirely at the discretion of its owner, A. Brown Company Inc. If the company were to have a future need for helicopter transport, it could potentially seek to have the facility inspected and re-certified by CAAP, provided it meets current safety and regulatory standards. However, there is no indication of any such plans.
