AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
MASwings' rural flights on Twin Otter aircraft often depart from a separate section of the terminal, so check your gate signage carefully.
Weather delays are common for flights to rural airstrips like Bario and Mulu, so build extra buffer if connecting to or from these routes.
The terminal is small enough that even a tight connection is manageable on foot, but flight delays rather than terminal distance are the bigger risk.
There is no airside transit or train system, so all movement between gates is a short walk.
Immigration and customs for the limited international flights (mainly to Brunei) can add time, so allow extra buffer if connecting internationally.
