## Description

Langkawi earns its living from holidays, not haulage. The island's airport (LGK) fills its schedule with leisure and scheduled flights from Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Singapore, serving a duty-free archipelago in Malaysia's north-west, in Kedah state. Air cargo here is essentially belly freight beneath passenger cabins; the field has little standalone tonnage. The duty-free regime mainly pulls in consumer goods, alcohol and electronics for local retail rather than export flows. Forwarders with real volume route it through Penang (PEN) on the mainland, which offers both a seaport and a cargo terminal, leaving LGK as a tourism and consumption point.
