Location

Kapit, Malaysia

Kapit Airport (IATA: KPI, ICAO: WBGP) is a small domestic airport serving the town of Kapit in Sarawak, Malaysia. Located in the interior of Borneo along the upper Rejang River, it provides an essential air link for a community that is otherwise accessible primarily by river boat. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily connecting Kapit with larger urban centers in Sarawak such as Sibu and Kuching. Given the challenging terrain and lack of major road infrastructure in the region, air transport plays a vital role in the mobility of local residents and the delivery of goods and services. The facility is basic in nature, reflecting the scale of traffic it serves. Operations are oriented toward small turboprop aircraft suited to short regional routes across Sarawak's interior.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low-volume domestic passenger operations.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are limited; taxis and private vehicles are the primary means of reaching Kapit town from the airport.
