About Long Semado Airport
Long Semado Airport is a small rural airfield serving Long Semado in the Lawas District of Sarawak, Malaysia. Operated by Malaysia Airports, it sits at an elevation of about 655 metres in the northern highlands close to the Sarawak–Kalimantan border. The airport does not currently have regular scheduled flights and is used mainly for community access, charter flights and small-aircraft operations.
The airfield has a single crushed-stone runway aligned 02/20 and measuring about 487 metres by 18 metres, suitable for small aircraft such as the DHC-6 Twin Otter. Passenger infrastructure is minimal, with no separate terminals, and the airfield serves remote interior communities of northern Sarawak.
Long Semado Airport is located about 3 km from Long Semado village and roughly 70 to 85 km by road from Lawas. Travel on the surrounding rural roads is best made by four-wheel drive, and journey times depend heavily on weather and road conditions.
As a small rural gateway, the airport provides an important connection for residents and visitors traveling to the Long Semado highlands. Travelers should plan onward transfers, accommodation and supplies in advance because facilities at the airport itself are very limited.
