Flights to Malacca
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Malacca is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), 85 km (53 mi) from the centre, whose 13,530-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Malacca International Airport (MKZ, 8 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kuala Lumpur International Airport | KUL | 85 km (53 mi) | 13,530 ft | 69 ft |
| Malacca International Airport (regional) | MKZ | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,005 ft | 35 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,530 ft, KUL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 69 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
