Flights to Taiping
Taiping is one of the few in the region already had an airport to provide air services during the very early time – British colonial era in the early 20th century.
Until the second world war ended in 1945, the airport served short distance destinations to Alor Star, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. It was also an important route of stop-over for daily flight from Penang to Singapore. Taiping airport was once been chosen as the hub for Global Flying Hospitals, but due to difficulty in acquisition of land occupied by some terraced houses located around its fringes. Finally Subang Airport was chosen to be the hub.
Located at Jalan Tekah3, off Jalan Muzaffar Shah (formerly Thomson Road) in Taiping, the site is now an abandoned heritage.
Penang International Airport – PEN located in Penang Island near Bayan Lepas, is one of the busiest airport in the region, serving the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia, including Taiping and Alor Star.
