About Mukah Airport

Overview

Mukah Airport serves the coastal region of Sarawak, Malaysia, located in the Mukah Division. Positioned at 2.881944°N, 112.043333°E, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation needs in Sarawak's eastern coastal zone.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 20 ft mean sea level indicates a flat coastal environment typical of Malaysia's maritime regions. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including variable sea breezes and occasional tropical precipitation patterns.

Notable Features

Mukah Airport features a single runway (15/33) with an asphalted surface measuring 4,921 feet in length. The runway's orientation suggests it can accommodate medium-sized aircraft typical of regional and domestic operations in Southeast Asia.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 15/33 orientation suggests potential wind alignment variations, with approaches potentially influenced by coastal wind patterns. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and weather assessments, paying particular attention to local maritime meteorological conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
