Location
Marudi, Malaysia
Marudi Airport (IATA: MUR, ICAO: WBGM) is a small regional airport located in Marudi, a town in the Baram district of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. It serves as an essential air link for communities in the interior of Sarawak, where road infrastructure is limited and river travel can be slow.
The airport primarily handles turboprop and small aircraft operations, connecting Marudi to Miri and other regional destinations. It plays a vital role in supporting the movement of people, goods, and occasionally medical evacuations in this remote part of Borneo.
Given its location in a densely forested and hilly region, the airport is a critical lifeline for the local Penan, Kenyah, and other indigenous communities who rely on air transport for access to services and markets.
