## Description

AirAsia, Batik Air, Firefly and Malaysia Airlines keep Kota Bharu among Malaysia's busier domestic stations, running frequent rotations to Kuala Lumpur. Set on the Kelantan coast near the Thai border, the airport — Sultan Ismail Petra — handles commuters, pilgrims and homebound travellers far more than freight. Despite the passenger numbers, there is no dedicated freighter handling; air cargo moves in the belly holds of scheduled jets. For Kelantan's farming east coast, that means express and small consignments fly directly, while larger export volumes consolidate through the KLIA cargo village. Road links south and to the border town of Rantau Panjang complete the goods flow alongside the air route. KBR is a strong passenger field but, by design, not a cargo one.
