Fly to Malacca!!!

The Batu Berendam Airport has been revived again with connecting flights from Penang, Malaysia and Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Kindly note that flights are not on a daily basis.

Since the airport was built in 1952, there has been several attempts to have revenue-generating commercial flights to other cities in the region.

It's a very small airport with only one airline (a JV between Malaysia and Indonesia) operating. There is no official website yet detailing the available facilities and flight arrival timings for the day.

So far, there has only been mentions of having Malaysian-owned carriers plying the airport. It remains to be seen whether Malaysia will make it an international airport and allow airlines owned by other nations to ply the airport.

For the energetic and adventurous who are working at Singapore, you can try planning your last minute Christmas to New Year getaway by doing a Straits cities hopping tour or beach cities hopping tour with these bus & flight routes.
