Kuching International Airport


Kuching International Airport is Sarawak's main international airport and is situated 11Km south of the city of Kuching. It is the third largest airport in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Kota Kinabalu International Airport

The arrival concourse (ground Floor) is spacious. Convenience store, mini post office, MacDonalds and a restaurant can be found here.

Taxi coupon and car rental booth is also situated on the arrival hall. The fare from the airport to the city centre is RM 17.50

This is the driving lane at the Departure level. Notice the resemblance of the structure to those in Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Check in counter at the Departure Level (level 2)

There are more shops on the Departure level compare to the Arrival level. There are a few souvenir shops, chocolate shops, Starbuck and KFC on this level.

There is an small aquarium on this level which contains reefs and fishes

This is the departure hall. It has a total of 9 boarding gates with aerobridge facilities. There is another gate, Gate R (no aerobridge facility) for Air Asia passenger and smaller aircraft operated by Mas Wings.

As a traveler, I might find this airport boring as there is not much can be done here. There is not much shopping to be done also compare to KLIA, Kota Kinabalu and Penang International airport.

The airport looks nice, very modern and convenient. Thank you for the information and the beautiful photos.

In the meantime, you might want to take a look about Guang Hua Digital Plaza in Taipei, Taiwan. Hope you like it and have a great day! :)

the airport looks neat and clean...odd though, there are some portions of it which looks like the terminal 3 of NAIA in Manila, especially the area where you have to wait for boarding the plane....
