Pulau Pangkor Airport guide

Pulau Pangkor Airport, also called Pangkor Airport, sits on Pangkor Island off the coast of Perak in northwest Peninsular Malaysia. The island lies in the Manjung District, and the airport serves the island's resorts and fishing villages. The mainland town of Sitiawan has its own airport.

The airport began as a light-aircraft airstrip. Perak studied a site near Pasir Bogak in 1970, plans for the airstrip were announced in 1984, and the strip opened in 1993 after technical defects delayed it. It has one runway, 04/22, with a semi-grout surface about 732 to 792 metres long, depending on the source. Only small aircraft such as the 19-seat Twin Otter can use it.

Scheduled flights stopped for about eight years and resumed in early 2022. SKS Airways flew between Pangkor and Subang near Kuala Lumpur, then suspended the service on 29 May 2022 and planned to return in peak holiday periods. Malaysia Airports has proposed lengthening the runway to 1.5 kilometres to take aircraft of up to 70 seats. Perak's chief minister said the work would cut into hills and extend into the sea, so it needs a detailed study first.
