Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, International airport in Subang, Malaysia
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is a commercial aerodrome in Subang, Selangor state, Malaysia, serving regional connections. The facility includes a runway measuring 3,779 meters (12,398 feet) in length with advanced lighting systems and precision approach indicators for safe flight operations.
The aerodrome served as the main gateway to Kuala Lumpur from 1965 until 1998, reaching a peak of 15.8 million passengers in 1997. After the opening of the new Kuala Lumpur international airport, the facility shifted to serving regional and domestic routes.
The facility has carried its name since 1996, honoring the then-Sultan of Selangor, Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj. Travelers move through a terminal where a concrete shell roof rests on mushroom-shaped columns, giving the building its recognizable appearance.
Five carriers, including AirAsia and Firefly, resumed regional flights in August 2024, expanding annual passenger capacity to 3 million. The terminal is located in the Subang area of Petaling District and is accessible via several major roads in the region.
Architects Kington Loo and C.H.R. Bailey designed the terminal building with its concrete shell roof supported by mushroom-shaped columns. This construction method gives the interior an open feeling and allows natural light without needing conventional support structures.
