Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (IATA: SZB, ICAO: WMSA) also known as Subang SkyPark, — formerly Subang International Airport/Kuala Lumpur International Airport, often called Subang Airport — is an airport located in Subang, Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia. It served as the main airport for Kuala Lumpur from 1965 to 1998, replacing the former Sungai Besi Airport, before being succeeded by the newer Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang.
The airport serves as a central hub for regional and charter carriers, including Firefly, Berjaya Air, MHS Aviation and Weststar Aviation. 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. It remains an important center for general aviation and domestic flights, with ongoing plans for further development. The airport is also aiming to become a leading center for aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services, as well as other aerospace activities in the region.
