Malacca International Airport

Malacca International Airport (MKZ), also known as Batu Berendam, opened in the 1950s and operates from a single passenger terminal, serving as a small but useful gateway to the historic city of Malacca. The compact airport handles mainly domestic and short regional routes and is prized for quick check-ins and easy navigation compared with larger Malaysian hubs. It’s roughly a 15–25 minute drive to Malacca city center and is reachable by taxi, rideshare, some local bus connections and car hire. Not a major airline hub, MKZ is typically served by regional carriers and charter operators, and is generally considered affordable for budget-minded travelers searching for cheap flights to Melaka.
