About Redang Airport

Redang Airport is a small airstrip on Redang Island, off the coast of Terengganu in Malaysia. It is operated by Malaysia Airports and is built for short take-off and landing aircraft such as turboprops.

One thing to know before planning: Redang Airport has no regular scheduled passenger service open to the general public. Flights that do operate are charters, run by Berjaya Air and usually sold together with resort stays on the island.

Where Redang Airport is on the island

The airstrip sits inland, close to the island's main village and its jetty. Redang has only a short road network, so transfers from the airstrip to nearby resorts or the jetty are quick.

Flights to Redang Island

Berjaya Air has flown charter services to Redang from Subang Airport near Kuala Lumpur and from Seletar in Singapore, linked to its resort on the island. Schedules depend on the charter programme, so check with the operator or your resort before relying on an air connection.

Other ways to reach Redang

Most visitors arrive by boat instead. Ferries and speedboats leave from Merang jetty and other points on the Terengganu coast, which is reached from Kuala Terengganu. Sultan Mahmud Airport in Kuala Terengganu is the nearest airport with regular scheduled flights.

What to do on Redang Island

Redang is part of a protected marine park, known for clear water, coral reefs and white-sand beaches. Snorkelling, diving and turtle watching draw most visitors.

Tips for travelling via Redang

Island services, boats and resort operations are seasonal on Malaysia's east coast, as the monsoon brings rough seas at certain times of year. Confirm your transfer arrangements with your resort well ahead of your trip.
