Senai International Airport JHB / WMKJ

Malaysia's only privately managed public airport (the only major Malaysian airport operated outside the MAHB network), roughly 23 km northwest of Johor Bahru and a base for AirAsia's Johor operations, with domestic trunk routes plus international connections (Bangkok, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Guangzhou) feeding the Iskandar Malaysia and Johor-Singapore growth corridor. Latest independently verified full-year figure is 2024: 3,360,906 passengers (+11.7% YoY per Senai Airport Terminal Services), consistent with MAVCOM's 2024-25 monthly bulletins showing sustained double-digit growth, including +41.8% YoY in January 2025, the strongest of any Malaysian airport that month. Full-year 2025 and any 2026 passenger totals were not confirmed in this verification pass and should be sourced from MAVCOM, CAAM, or Senai Airport Terminal Services before being treated as current. Only RWY 16 carries a precision ILS (CAT I) - RWY 34 is PAPI and simple-approach only - and the field is not H24, with published AD/ATS/customs hours of 2230-1600 UTC (about 0630-2400 local) verified against AIP Malaysia AD 2 WMKJ, and a de facto overnight curfew outside that window requiring prior approval before 0800 UTC. No corroborating source was found for a Sultan Ibrahim ownership stake in the operator; verified sources (MMC Corporation's own site and Wikipedia) describe Senai Airport Terminal Services Sdn Bhd as wholly owned by MMC Corporation Berhad. The airport was formerly named Sultan Ismail International Airport, honouring a past Sultan of Johor, before being rebranded Senai International Airport.
