Flights to Setapak
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Setapak is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport (SZB), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 12,401-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL, 51 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport | SZB | 22 km (14 mi) | 12,401 ft | 90 ft |
| Kuala Lumpur International Airport | KUL | 51 km (32 mi) | 13,530 ft | 69 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,401 ft, SZB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 90 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
