RAF Kuala Lumpur, Royal Air Force base in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

RAF Kuala Lumpur was a military airfield featuring a runway, terminal buildings, and hangars for aircraft maintenance and operations. The base contained all necessary infrastructure to support regular flight operations and aircraft servicing.

The base was established in 1931 and played a strategic role during the Malayan Emergency. It supported military operations through supply missions and transport flights for troops.

Locals call the station Sungai Besi Air Force Base, after the airport that shared its runway. The civil side handled BOAC Britannias to London and Malayan Airways Dakotas on domestic routes, and the Duke of Gloucester was received here when Malaya gained independence. The 1957 terminal building was demolished around 2004.

The base was located roughly three kilometers from the city center and featured facilities such as swimming pools and cinemas. Military personnel had access to accommodation areas and recreational facilities on site.

The airfield also served as Sungai Besi Airport, Malaya's first civil airport; a 1957 terminal there was demolished around 2004. BOAC Britannias flew a London route, Qantas began Super Constellation services in 1958, and BOAC Comets replaced the Britannias in 1959.
