Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport

It continues to attract travelers from Kuala Lumpur due to its proximity to the city center and convenient location in the Klang Valley.

As of 2024, commercial jet operations have returned to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, linking Subang to several regional destinations.

[5] Built on 535 hectares of land, the airport was part of a larger government initiative to establish a modern international gateway for Malaysia.

Additionally, a circular ramp, inspired by the penguin pavilion at London Zoo by Berthold Lubetkin, provided a distinctive visual focal point, contributing to the airport's architectural identity.

[6] The first commercial flight to land at the airport, a Malaysian Airways Silver Kris (De Havilland Comet) from Singapore, arrived at 8:15 a.m. on the following Wednesday.

This expansion resulted in the removal of several original design features, including the distinctive circular ramp and sections of the floating roof.

The first fire occurred in April 1992, resulting in the deaths of three security guards from the Civil Aviation Department and causing significant damage to 29 duty-free shops.

Another fire broke out in the airport's control tower in October 1992, destroying critical radar systems, computers and other equipment worth over RM2 million.

[9] Despite interest from AirAsia in establishing Subang as its operational base in 2004, the government maintained a policy limiting the airport’s use to general aviation and turboprop flights.

In December 2007, Subang SkyPark Sdn Bhd announced a RM300 million transformation plan to revamp Terminal 3, enhancing its appeal as a corporate aviation hub.

[11][12] The project included the construction of a five-star executive lounge, expanded hangar facilities and improved infrastructure to support maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services.

On 28 October 2009, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak officiated the renovated Subang Skypark Terminal.

Spanning 4 to 4.8 hectares near Terminal 3, the proposed development included a boutique hotel, an aviation museum, a theme park and a retail mall with a total built-up area of one million square feet.

The project was later integrated into the broader Asia Aerospace City (AAC) development, a larger RM1.7 billion initiative led by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) and supported by Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

Despite delays, the vision for transforming Subang SkyPark into a dynamic aerospace city continues through the AAC's revival, which focuses on enhancing aviation infrastructure and supporting aerospace-related industries.

[17] In July 2021, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) announced the redevelopment of Terminal 2 into advanced hangars for business aviation under the LTSAAS Regeneration plan.

The redevelopment, driven by demand from operators like Berjaya Air and Smooth Route, aims to increase the capacity of the Subang Aerotech Park by 280%.

[20] As part of SARP, efforts are underway to reinstate the Skypark Link commuter train service, which connects Subang Airport to KL Sentral, further improving regional accessibility.

Long-term plans for the airport also include establishing an aerospace ecosystem, developing business aviation facilities, and creating a drone testing site.

[20] SkyPark Terminal provides a wide range of aviation services beyond passenger and cargo operations, including charter flights, flying clubs and helicopter support.

Buses from Subang Skypark towards Pasar Seni (Central Market) in Kuala Lumpur city center are Rapid KL bus No.
