Canlubang Airstrip

The closure was due to economic reasons, specifically large-scale land conversion for real estate development. The airstrip was situated on a portion of the vast Canlubang Sugar Estate, which was sold for development. The land's value for a major mixed-use urban project far exceeded its value as a private airstrip. The site was acquired by Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. (part of the Lucio Tan Group) and redeveloped into the 'Eton City' township.

The site of the former airstrip is now completely redeveloped and no longer exists as an aviation facility. The land is now the location of the Eton City township in Calamba, Laguna. The exact path of the former runway has been overwritten by major infrastructure, including the Eton City exit of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), the main thoroughfare Eton City Boulevard, the Eton City Square commercial center, and various residential and commercial properties within the development.

Canlubang Airstrip was a private airfield that served as a key infrastructure asset for the Canlubang Sugar Estate, historically one of the largest and most prominent sugar plantations in the Philippines, owned by the influential Yulo family. When active, its operations were primarily for general aviation and private use. It catered to the aircraft of the Yulo family, their business associates, and other private pilots. The airstrip facilitated convenient travel for executives and guests to the sprawling estate, bypassing road traffic from Manila. It symbolized the self-sufficiency and influence of the great haciendas of that era.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening the Canlubang Airstrip. The site has been permanently and irreversibly converted to urban and commercial use. The extensive construction of roads, buildings, and other infrastructure on the former airfield makes any potential restoration logistically impossible and economically infeasible. The airport is considered permanently closed and redeveloped.
