Pangkor Airport (IATA: PKG, ICAO: WMPA) is an airport on Pangkor Island, Manjung District, Perak, Malaysia.

The airport is complemented by Sitiawan Airport located in the mainland.

History[edit]

In 1970, the Perak state government studied a site for an airstrip, located near the government rest house at Pasir Bogak. The 2,500 feet (760 m) airstrip would be used by light aircraft and helicopters.^[3]

Plans to construct the airport – then only an airstrip – was announced in 1984.^[4]

The airport was expected to be completed in July 1992,^[5] but was delayed to January 1993.^[6]

Technical defects on the airstrip was discovered in May 1993, delaying the airport's opening to June. At that time, the airstrip could only fit the 12-seater Donnier and Twin Otter.^[6]
