Redang Airport – RDN
Owned by the Government of Malaysia and currently operated by the Malaysia Airports Snd. Bhd., the Redang Airport is a public airfield that handles the passenger traffic of Redang Island, Malaysia, in the district of Kuala Nerus in the sultanate of Terengganu. It goes by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) location identifier of RDN and has handled almost 36,000 passengers and 900 aircraft movements in 2012, a slight decrease from its operations the previous year.
Best Time to Visit
RDN-Redang Airport features a single asphalt-paved runway, numbered as 02/20 and spans to a length of 940 meters. This airstrip was expanded in 2009, closing the airport for a short time before it was reopened that same year. As of the moment, only a single chartered flight, courtesy of Berjaya Air, is offered in the airport, a route to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in the suburb of Subang. Make sure to explore Redang Island (Pulau Redang in Malay) while you’re in the area.
What to Do & Area Attractions
If you happen to visit the island of Redang, book your suites at the luxurious beachfront resorts of Redang Island Resort, the 5-star The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort, and the cozy Redang De' Rimba. All of them are readily within a five-minute drive from the airport, but only Taaras Beach & Spa Resort and Redang De' Rimba provide guests with airport transfers.
Another airfield serving the sultanate of Terengganu is the Sultan Mahmood Airport (TGG) found on the mainland of Malaysia and primarily serves the sultanate’s administrative capital, Kuala Terengganu.
