Kuantan Airport — Kuantan, Malaysia

At an elevation of about 58 feet, its single asphalt runway of roughly 9,200 feet supports scheduled links to Kuala Lumpur and other destinations. Kuantan is a growing regional center and a gateway to the beaches and resorts of the Pahang coast, and the airport handles both business and holiday traffic for the east-coast region. In a part of Malaysia where the capital lies across the mountainous spine of the peninsula, KUA offers a faster alternative to the overland journey, identifying the field that serves one of the east coast's principal cities.
