The Secret Studio has recently released their new rendition of Sibu Airport (WBGS) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (not to be confused with the one released in late 2022). It serves Bintangor, Sarikei, Kapit, and Sibu in East Malaysia, with a yearly average of 569,000 passengers, making it the 11th busiest airport in the country.

It opened in 1994, replacing Sibu’s former airport, which was demolished to make way for the Laila Taib College (its runway can still be seen, albeit partially). 

In 2010, the airport underwent a massive expansion project, upgrading the terminal building and car park. With the upgrade, the airport could handle 1.8 million passengers per year.

AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia, Malaysia Airlines, and MASwings serve it.

The scenery features an accurate rendition of the airport, with an up-to-date ground layout, PBR texturing, custom ILS, highly detailed passenger terminal, custom aerial imagery, custom jetways, AI traffic compatibility, and custom ground textures.

It’s available on SimMarket for roughly $13.24, requiring at least 1.14 GB of free hard disk space to install.
