Gateway to Malaysia's pristine tropical island paradise.

Location
Tioman Island, Malaysia
Tioman Airport (IATA: TOD, ICAO: WMBT) is a small domestic airport serving Tioman Island, a renowned resort island off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in Pahang state. The island is famous for its clear waters, coral reefs, and lush rainforest, making the airport a key entry point for tourists and divers. The airport operates limited scheduled flights connecting Tioman Island to the Malaysian mainland, particularly Kuala Lumpur (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang). It is a short-strip facility suited only to small propeller aircraft due to the island's hilly terrain and the runway's limited length. Alternatively, visitors can reach Tioman Island via ferry services from mainland ports such as Mersing and Tanjung Gemok, which are popular options given the infrequent flight schedules.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small terminal building with basic passenger facilities befitting a remote island destination.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to island resorts and villages is limited to taxis and resort vehicles, as the island has no public bus network.
Airlines here
Berjaya Air has historically been the primary carrier operating scheduled flights between Tioman Island and Subang (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport).

Tioman Airport
Encyclopaedia

Tioman Airport, also known as Pulau Tioman Airport, is an airport serving Tioman Island, Pahang, Malaysia. It is located next to Tekek village . The relatively small size of aircraft able to take off and land at Tioman means that per seat costs are relatively high, making it hard for airlines operating out of the island to remain profitable. The airport's runway is "one way" as planes can only land and take off in one direction (north) due to nearby terrain. Tioman is a popular destination for private pilots based in Singapore and Malaysia, as it is only a little more than an hour away by air from Seletar Airport, Singapore compared to over 5 hours by surface transport.
