💡 Local Tip
Locals often still refer to it as Buluh Tumbang Airport, so use both names when arranging a pickup or asking for directions.
🚖 Getting There
Official taxis and ride-hailing apps such as Grab or Gojek are the most practical options, though availability can vary at night. Pre-booked hotel transfers or rental cars are useful if you are heading directly to Tanjung Kelayang, Tanjung Tinggi, or other resort areas. Allow extra time during peak arrival periods and rainy season, as the road to town can be slow.
