Mulu Airport guide

Mulu Airport (ICAO WBMU) is the gateway to Gunung Mulu National Park in northern Sarawak, East Malaysia. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its caves and limestone pinnacles, and the airport sits just outside its boundary. There is no road link to the coast, so most visitors arrive by air from Miri.

The airport has one bitumen runway, 03/21, 1,500 m (4,921 ft) long. It is owned by the Government of Malaysia and operated by Malaysia Airports Berhad. AirBorneo is the only airline listed, with flights from Mulu to Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Miri.

Traffic is small and tied to tourism. Passenger numbers fell from 59,501 in 2019 to 11,304 in 2021 during the pandemic, then recovered to 72,150 in 2023, above the pre-pandemic level. The Malaysian aeronautical information publication lists the Mulu Marriott Resort and Spa and homestays near the park, with onward transport arranged in advance through those hotels.
