Kluang Airport
Kluang, Malaysia
Kluang Airport (ICAO: WMAP), also known historically as Kluang Airfield and RMAF Kluang Air Base, is an aerodrome situated within the Kluang District, Johor, Malaysia. The facility is located in close proximity to the Kluang town centre, approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Johor Bahru, forming an integral part of the larger Kluang Garrison military installation. The facility possesses a single terminal, a grass airstrip, and concrete runways that have been converted for use as helipads. Located adjacent to Camp Mahkota, the aerodrome is officially operated and controlled by the Malaysian Army. Specifically, the air operations are managed by the 881st Army Aviation Regiment (Rejimen 881 PUTD) of the Malaysian Army Aviation (Pasukan Udara Tentera Darat or PUTD). The aerodrome is currently listed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) as public but restricted. This status is primarily due to the condition of the grass surface, which currently limits its use exclusively to helicopters. It does not service scheduled commercial airline destinations but remains available for use by small-to-medium chartered or private aircraft. Historically, the aerodrome did receive domestic commercial airline services in the early 1970s. However, commercial operations ceased in 1974, with the services subsequently being taken over and consolidated at Senai International Airport.
