Malacca International Airport guide

Malacca International Airport, also known as Batu Berendam Airport, serves the historic city of Malacca on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Construction was approved in April 1950 and finished in August 1952, and the first aircraft landed the following month. Khazanah Nasional owns the airport and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad runs it.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 03/21, which is 2,135 metres long. It takes narrowbody jets such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. A new terminal opened in May 2009 and was officially inaugurated on 4 February 2010. The building covers 7,000 square metres and is designed for 1.5 million passengers a year.

Traffic is light and has been uneven. Commercial flights had stopped altogether by September 2023, leaving the airport to private jets and flight training. The Malaysian Flying Academy has been based here since 1987. Scoot resumed flights to Singapore Changi in October 2024. Wings Air flew to Pekanbaru in Indonesia, but Wikipedia lists that route as suspended as of August 2026. Check the current schedule before you plan a trip. A bus, route M12, runs hourly to Melaka Sentral between 6 am and 9 pm. Taxis and ride-hailing apps also serve the terminal.
