## Description

Capital of Kedah — Malaysia's rice bowl — Alor Setar is served by an airport built around passengers rather than freight. Firefly, AirAsia, Batik Air and Malaysia Airlines link the city to Kuala Lumpur and the domestic network. There is no dedicated cargo terminal or freighter handling here; what air freight there is travels in the belly holds of scheduled flights. Export volumes, express and cold-chain traffic are better routed through nearby Penang, with its electronics cargo cluster, or through the KLIA cargo village. For forwarders, AOR suits small, fast consignments into the northern peninsula. Its real value lies in connecting the agricultural and administrative region of Kedah, not in tonnage handled.
