Senai International Airport
Senai International Airport, given the code JHB, occupies a site south of Johor Bahru near the causeway connecting peninsular Malaysia to Singapore. Its location has made it a favored alternative for travelers on both sides of the border, since fares out of JHB are frequently cheaper than equivalent flights departing Singapore's Changi Airport just a short drive away. Budget carriers, led by AirAsia, dominate the schedule alongside Malaysia Airlines and Firefly, connecting Johor Bahru to destinations across Malaysia, Indonesia, and beyond. The airport takes its name from the nearby town of Senai and has expanded its terminal capacity over the years to accommodate rising cross-border traffic. Industrial growth in the Iskandar Malaysia development zone surrounding Johor Bahru has further boosted demand for air travel through this gateway.
