The airport is located at the southeastern tip of Penang Island, 16 km (9.9 mi) south of the city centre, and serves the country's second largest conurbation.[1]

As the main gateway into northwestern Malaysia, PIA is the third busiest airport in Malaysia in terms of passenger traffic, recording nearly 6.8 million tourist arrivals in 2023 alone.[2] It is also the second busiest in the country by cargo handled and the highest in terms of export value, with RM365 billion in exports in 2023.[3] Additionally, the airport is the main hub for local budget airline Firefly and one of AirAsia's operating bases.[4]
