About Sahabat 16 Airport
Sahabat 16 Airport is a small domestic aerodrome serving Sahabat, a plantation and residential area in Lahad Datu District on the eastern coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It supports local and regional air access to a part of Sabah where road travel is the main way to reach nearby towns. The airport has a single runway and a compact terminal area. Its operations are primarily domestic and limited in scale, making it a convenient entry point for travelers with connections to the Sahabat area rather than a major commercial hub. Located roughly 85 km east of Lahad Datu, the airport is reached mainly by road. Private transfers, taxis, rental cars and group transport can be used to continue to Lahad Datu and onward destinations such as Semporna and Tawau. Because it is a small regional facility, passengers should plan for basic services and confirm schedules and transport arrangements before travelling.
