Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially documented. However, based on analysis of historical satellite imagery and the lack of official records, the heliport likely ceased operations in the mid-to-late 2000s. By the early 2010s, the area was fully developed with industrial structures, showing no signs of an active helipad.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to land redevelopment and urban encroachment. Ubihan Heliport was a private facility, likely established to support the construction or initial operations of a specific industrial plant in the area. As Meycauayan's industrial zone expanded and became more congested, the land was repurposed for industrial buildings, making the heliport obsolete. The closure was for economic and logistical reasons, not due to any recorded accident or military conversion.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport has been completely absorbed into a dense industrial complex. The coordinates 14.75178, 120.90964 now point directly to a large warehouse or factory building. There are no visible remnants of any aviation infrastructure, such as a helipad marking, windsock, or dedicated landing zone. The land is fully utilized for industrial purposes.

Historical Significance

Ubihan Heliport held no major historical significance and was not a public-use facility. It was a private heliport serving the logistical needs of one or more corporations in the industrial district of Ubihan, Meycauayan. Its operations would have been limited to private, non-scheduled VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights, primarily for executive transport to and from Metro Manila or for aerial oversight of the industrial facilities. The ICAO code 'PH-0731' was an unofficial identifier used in third-party and flight simulator databases, not an official code assigned by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), underscoring its private and minor nature.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for reopening the Ubihan Heliport. The site has been permanently redeveloped, and the surrounding industrial and residential density makes it unsuitable and unsafe for helicopter operations. Any future need for helicopter access in the area would necessitate the construction of a new, modern helipad on a suitable building, not the revival of this defunct ground-level site.
