Bintulu Airport (BTU) is the domestic airport for Bintulu, a town in central Sarawak on the Malaysian side of Borneo. It lies roughly 20 to 23 km by road south-west of Bintulu town and serves the town together with the surrounding part of the state. Malaysia Airports operates the airport, and all passenger flights use a single terminal. Bintulu has no other airport, so this one handles routes to Kuala Lumpur and Kuching as well as smaller Sarawak towns such as Miri, Mukah and Sibu.

Its single runway can take aircraft as large as the Airbus A330. Below you will find the terminal, the airlines that fly here, how to get into town and how to use the schedule.
