WBGS Sibu, WBGB Bintulu and WBGR Miri, are 3 other major airports in the state of Sarawak. All are 9000 feet long single runway with ILS. They do not operate 24 hrs,do not have FBOs, all have refuelling facilities where as Sibu and Miri have CIQ services as well. Since we operate domestically into such places we do not request handling, more often than not we will be directed to a stand without a marshaller. In Miri, sometimes you will be asked to park at the Helibase. From here WBMU Mulu is a short flight away and here you will find one of the largest cave systems in the world. You may not be able to fly in a jet but the ATRs and TwinOotters will be happy to fly you in! I have flown in and landed there a few times and the low clouds and high terrain are tricky!
WBKK/BKI Kota Kinabalu is the biggest airport in the only other state of Sabah in East Malaysia. There are 2 terminals available, Main and Terminal 2. Terminal 2 is budget terminal where the Air Asia operates from. Sometimes corporaate jets also utilize this apron. Refueling facilities is available here.
As a reminder if you are a foreign registered aircraft, operating domestically need permits from the DCA. Ensure that your flight coordinator applies that for you or you can get a local handler like Dnest to handle both permits and flight plans. DCA don't work on weekends so plan ahead.
