About Pamol Airport
Pamol Airport (PAY) is a small domestic airstrip located in Beluran district, in the eastern part of Sabah, Malaysia. It primarily serves the Pamol estate and surrounding rural communities, supporting plantation-related, private and charter aviation rather than large-scale scheduled commercial traffic.
The airfield sits near Kampong Tagas Tagas, roughly 73 km from Sandakan, the nearest regional hub and largest town in the area. It has a single grass runway of about 711 metres, suited to small aircraft and the short take-off and landing operations common in eastern Sabah.
There is no dedicated public transit serving the airfield. Travelers typically arrange private vehicle pickups or use local taxis for the road journey toward Sandakan, which normally takes about one and a half hours along the regional highway.
Because of its limited passenger facilities, the airport is best understood as a practical access point for estate and regional travel rather than a conventional passenger gateway. Visitors are advised to confirm flight arrangements and onward transport before traveling.
