About Belaga Airport
Belaga Airport (BLG) is a small public airfield serving Belaga town in the upper Rajang River region of Sarawak's Kapit Division. It plays an important role in connecting this remote interior area with other parts of Sarawak, particularly for rural air services.
The airport has a single short runway, designated 05/23, with a length of about 427 metres and a bitumen surface. The airfield is designed primarily for short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft such as the 19-seat DHC-6 Twin Otter, which are well suited to operations in this rugged region.
Belaga Airport is located a few kilometres from Belaga town centre. From the airport, travellers typically continue by 4x4 or road, and many journeys in the area also continue by river boat along the Rajang River to longhouse communities and nearby settlements.
Passenger facilities are limited and consist of a basic terminal building with a small waiting area. Scheduled commercial services are limited, and the airport mainly supports rural air service and chartered STOL operations serving the local community and visitors to the region.
