Miri Airport
Miri Airport (IATA: MYY, ICAO: WBGR) is an airport located 9.5 km (5.9 mi) southeast of Miri, a city in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. It is the sixth-busiest airport in Malaysia, and the second-busiest in Sarawak. Miri Airport is the main hub for AirBorneo Twin Otter fleet which took over the rural air services from MASwings and FlyAsianXpress. Its location in the middle of Malaysian Borneo close to the border of Brunei makes it a suitable hub for rural air services and an important gateway to Sarawak. In 2014, Miri Airport was the sixth-busiest airport both in terms of aircraft movements and in terms of passengers handled, with 2,363,080 passenger movements and 49,204 aircraft movements. Miri Airport is the second-largest airport in Sarawak after Kuching International Airport, with a terminal floor space of 16,448m². Miri Airport is not considered an international airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) despite having daily scheduled international flights.
