Sultan Mahmud Airport serves Kuala Terengganu, the capital of Terengganu on Malaysia's east coast.

A single passenger terminal handles all flights. Inside you will find check-in counters, prayer rooms, cafés and food outlets, a few retail shops, an information desk and a viewing gallery that looks over the runway. The runway is long enough for wide-body jets, which helps during peak pilgrimage and holiday seasons.
Flights from TGG focus on the Kuala Lumpur area. Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia link the city with Kuala Lumpur International Airport, while Firefly flies to both KLIA and Subang. From either Kuala Lumpur airport, you can connect to destinations across Asia and further afield. Always check the latest timetable, as frequencies shift with demand.
Many visitors use Kuala Terengganu as a stepping stone to islands such as Redang, Perhentian and Lang Tengah. The Merang and Shahbandar jetties are within driving distance of the airport. In the city, the Crystal Mosque, Pasar Payang market and the Terengganu River waterfront are all worth a look.
Island boat services depend on sea conditions and many slow down during the northeast monsoon, so confirm your ferry before booking an onward flight. If you are catching a boat the same day, choose an early arrival to leave a buffer.
