Tioman Airport , also known as Pulau Tioman Airport, is an airport serving Tioman Island, Pahang, Malaysia. It is located next to Tekek village (Kampung Tekek). 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.
History An improvement project of the airport, which cost RM35.87 million, was planned to be completed by November 1996. The project include an expansion of the runway and installation of advanced equipment.
Berjaya Air operated regular flights from Singapore-Seletar and Kuala Lumpur-Subang until 2014.https://tiomanferry.com/berjaya_air.html There has been no scheduled service since.
