Remote airstrip serving the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia.
Location
Lio Matu, Malaysia
Lio Matu Airport (ICAO: WBGO) is a small, remote airstrip located in the Lio Matu area of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. It serves as a vital link for isolated interior communities that are otherwise accessible only by river or on foot through dense rainforest.
The airport primarily supports light aircraft operations and serves a very small local population, including indigenous communities in the surrounding region. Air transport is essential for delivering supplies, medical assistance, and passenger connectivity to this otherwise difficult-to-reach area.
Due to its remote nature and limited infrastructure, Lio Matu Airport handles minimal scheduled traffic, with operations typically managed by small regional carriers or missionary aviation services active in Sarawak's interior.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with river travel and jungle tracks being the primary alternative means of reaching the surrounding communities.
