Senai International Airport, International aerodrome in Kulai, Malaysia
Senai International Airport is an aerodrome in Senai, Kulai District, Malaysia, serving both domestic and international connections. The passenger areas include departure halls with seating clusters, shops for travelers, and restaurants distributed across several floors.
Operations started in the mid-1970s as a smaller facility for domestic flights. Expansions in the early 1990s led to the current structure, with additional runways and a larger passenger terminal.
The name refers to the nearby township, while the terminal itself displays artwork and furniture crafted by local artisans from the region. Travelers notice tropical plants indoors, along with textiles and decorations featuring traditional patterns from Johor.
Access is via expressways and regular bus links from Johor Bahru, with the journey taking around 45 minutes. Due to lower passenger volumes, security checks often move faster than at larger airports.
Private operators have managed the terminal since the early 2000s, an arrangement uncommon for a publicly accessible facility in Malaysia. Some airlines use it as an alternative when nearby larger facilities become congested.
