## Description

LNG tankers and palm-oil terminals define the freight scene around Bintulu, the Sarawak industrial town served by Bintulu Airport (BTU). The airport handles mainly passenger and bellyhold traffic with Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia and MASwings, without a dedicated freighter operation. Heavy cargo and exports move instead through the adjacent Bintulu Port, one of Malaysia's highest-tonnage seaports. Time-critical air freight is typically consolidated via Kuching (KCH) or Kuala Lumpur International (KUL). Road access runs along the Pan Borneo Highway.
