Sultan Mahmud Airport (TGG), often called Kuala Terengganu Airport, is the airport for Kuala Terengganu, in the Malaysian state of Terengganu. It sits in the Kuala Nerus district, north-west of the city, roughly 7 to 15 km from Kuala Terengganu depending on where you start. Malaysia Airports runs it, and one main terminal handles the airport's passenger flights. The airport is named after Sultan Mahmud, the 16th Sultan of Terengganu.

Most flights here are domestic. The airport also handles seasonal Hajj pilgrimage flights to Saudi Arabia, and it has a long runway of about 3.5 km.

About Sultan Mahmud Airport

The airport goes by two names. Sultan Mahmud Airport is the official one, while many travellers simply say Kuala Terengganu Airport, and both refer to the same place. Its IATA code is TGG and its ICAO code is WMKN. TGG is the code to search with, and it is the one printed on your booking and bag tag.

Hajj flights run only in the pilgrimage season and are arranged separately from regular flights. Outside that season, the airport's passenger traffic is domestic.
