About Long Seridan Airport

Long Seridan Airport, operating under IATA code ODN and ICAO code WBGL, is a small regional airstrip managed under the Malaysia Airports authority framework serving the interior communities of Sarawak’s Baram District. The airport was developed to provide essential air access to longhouse communities that would otherwise be entirely cut off from major urban centres, and it continues to play a vital role in regional connectivity. The short gravel runway limits operations to turboprop and light piston aircraft, making it suitable for Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capable aircraft such as the DHC-6 Twin Otter and similar platforms. Terminal facilities are basic, reflecting the airport’s primary role as a lifeline service for local communities rather than a commercial hub. Customs and immigration formalities are handled informally given the airport’s domestic status, with arrivals processed efficiently through the small terminal building.
