The new Mukah Airport (MKM) has opened from now. The RM300 million airport replaces all the functions of the previous Mukah Short Take-off and Landing Air Strip (STOLport). The new terminal has been able to accommodate up to 200 passengers at any one time as compared to the STOLport that could only handle 67 passengers. At 3,120sqm, the terminal can cater up to 264,000 passengers per annum. As for the new runway, it is 1.5km in length which is suitable for turboprop and helicopter operations. It can also be potentially extended for larger jet airliners, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 in the future.
