Simpang Airport

RMAF Kuala Lumpur Air Base

RMAF Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Sungai Besi Air Base and Simpang Airport, now closed, was a key airport in the early years of Malaysia's aviation history. Established in the 1930s, it was the primary gateway for both domestic and international flights in Kuala Lumpur for several decades. The airport played a significant role in connecting Malaya to global destinations, with its facilities progressively upgraded to accommodate increasing air traffic.
