Source-specific airport notes
Regional role cue
SFS is a converted Cubi Point naval-air-station airport in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, not a normal city-center passenger airport.
Accepted from the airport reference trail as a role-specific cue for SFS; not treated as a live service guarantee.
Surface access cue
Naval Air Station Cubi Point was a United States Navy aerial facility located at the edge of Naval Base Subic Bay and abutting the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines.
Kept as traveler context from the source trail; current road, rail, and bus operations still need official confirmation.
Name or history cue
The airport moved from U.S. Navy Cubi Point history into a commercial international-airport role after the U.S. withdrawal from Subic.
Retained because history, naming, or opening context helps distinguish this airport from same-shaped airport pages.

SFS (RPLB) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 6 million passengers annual terminal capacity, operating from a near sea-level field at 64 ft (20 m).
SFS also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as subic bay freeport airport with naval-air-station history, a single retained runway, and former logistics-hub context..
SFS's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,003 ft / 2,744 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for SFS.
- Subic Bay International Airport is strongest when the page explains the Cubi Point naval-air-station history.
- The 1996 terminal and freeport context separate SFS from ordinary Philippine city-airport pages.
- The page should avoid implying broad current scheduled passenger scale when the strongest facts are history, freeport role, and runway footprint.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at Naval Air Station Cubi Point, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for SFS
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
SFS uses Asia/Manila (PHT, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Subic Bay International Airport / Naval Air Station Cubi Point is about 85 km from central Olongapo; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
CRK Mabalacat is the closest retained alternate at 53 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
The accepted airport reference came from en.wikipedia.org; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place SFS inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
SFS ranks #4 in the curated Philippines airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Olongapo, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Quezon City is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Subic Bay International Airport / Naval Air Station Cubi Point has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from SFS, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
