Historic Malaysian air base serving Kuala Lumpur's aviation heritage.

Location
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Simpang Airport, identified by ICAO code WMKF, is a general aviation and military airfield located in the Simpang area near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has historically served as a base for light aircraft, flying clubs, and training operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. The airfield is associated with the Royal Malaysian Air Force and general aviation communities, functioning primarily as a secondary aerodrome in the greater Kuala Lumpur region. With the development of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang), Simpang's role has remained limited to non-commercial aviation activities. The airport does not hold an IATA code, reflecting its non-commercial status. It continues to serve private, training, and military-related aviation purposes in the Malaysian capital region.
