Get in by plane

Underutilized Batu Berendam Airport (IATA: MKZ) (ICAO: WMKM) is located about 10km from Malacca city. As of 2010, the only flights are on Riau Airlines (Office at airport. Tel: +60-6-3174577) five times weekly (no flights on Wednesdays and Fridays) at 1005AM to Pekanbaru in Sumatra, Indonesia. The flight from Pekanbaru departs at 0730 and comes in at 0920. RM247 one way before taxes.

To get there/away: Any Batang Bus (yellow, cream and red) from Melaka Sentral will go past Batu Berendam Airport. Buses will stop by the main road about 200m from the airport building. Tuahbas No. 65 (blue and white) to Taman Merdeka also goes from Melaka Sentral past the airport via Bachang.

The nearest major airport is Kuala Lumpur's KLIA, about 1.5-2 hours away by car. Transnasional runs about four direct buses daily (RM 21.90), but if you miss them, you'll have to detour via KL or take a taxi (fixed "budget" fare RM145 one way). Malaysia Airlines does not fly to Malacca, but it maintains an office at Lot 1&2, Block A, Ground Floor, Century Mahkota Hotel, Jalan Merdeka, 75000 Melaka. Tel: +60-6-2829597.
