## Description

Despite a runway long enough at 3,480 metres for the occasional wide-body, Sultan Mahmud near Kuala Terengganu is first and foremost a passenger gateway rather than a freight station. It links the east-coast state of Terengganu to Kuala Lumpur and handles charters for the offshore oil-and-gas sector as well as seasonal pilgrim traffic. Air cargo moves almost entirely as belly load on scheduled jets, with no dedicated freighter operation on the apron. Customs clearance is available, but forwarders consolidate genuine air freight through the Kuala Lumpur (KUL) hub. For shippers on the east coast, TGG works as a feeder point, not a cargo node.
