Long Semado Airport (IATA: LSM, ICAO: WBGD) is a small rural airstrip serving Long Semado and nearby communities in Sarawak's Limbang Division, close to the Indonesian border. It is one of several interior Borneo airports that rely on short takeoff and landing aircraft to connect remote settlements with larger towns. The airport is a lifeline for supplies, medical referrals, and travel when roads are unreliable.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors bring cash and a flexible schedule: ATMs and card payments are scarce in the interior, and a weather delay can easily push travel to the next day.
🚖 Getting There
Most travelers reach Long Semado by small aircraft or by 4WD over logging roads from Lawas or Limbang; road conditions vary and can be rough, especially after rain. There is no regular public bus or taxi service at the airport, so pre-arrange a pickup with your accommodation, employer, or local contact. If you are flying out, arrive early and keep buffer time for weather delays and limited ground handling.
