Formerly known as Batu Berendam Airport, the airport is located 10 km from the heritage town of Melaka and occupies 141 acres (0.57 km2) of land. It has a single runway measuring 1,372 m in length. In May 2009, a new terminal, which can accommodate up to 1.5 million passengers per year, was opened to cater to the increase in passenger traffic. The airport is also used as the base of the Malaysian Flying Academy (MFA), which has been operating out of the airport since 1987.
