About Tomanggong Airport
Tomanggong Airport is a small airfield in the Tomanggong area of Kinabatangan District, Sabah, on the island of Borneo. It carries the IATA code TMG and ICAO code WBKM, and it sits in a rural part of the lower Kinabatangan region.
The airport has a single gravel runway, 11/29, approximately 670 metres (2,198 feet) long. Its operations have historically been limited, with landings permitted on runway 11 and departures on runway 29, and the airport may no longer be in regular operation.
The nearest larger town is Sandakan, about 76 kilometres away in a straight line, while Lahad Datu is roughly 55 kilometres away. Road journeys in this part of Sabah can take considerably longer, and access is primarily by road using pre-arranged transfers, four-wheel-drive vehicles or local operators.
Passenger infrastructure at the airfield is limited, so most travelers use it as a point of arrival or departure for the Kinabatangan and Tomanggong estate areas before continuing by road. Visitors should confirm current access and transport arrangements in advance.
