Talk:Miri International Airport

Merger proposal
Miri International Airport and Miri Airport have been tagged for merger. Seems uncontroversial to me as the content is already basically duplicated. If no one objects I will merge here as soon as I have time. Retswerb (talk) 03:35, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Upon further review: while it is clear that these articles should be merged, I'm unsure as to which title is more appropriate. The airport does appear to have regular flights to Singapore, and is at least occasionally referred to as "Miri International" - but per the (unsourced) statement in the lead, it is not recognized as such by local authorities. Leaning toward using "Miri Airport" but open to further input. Retswerb (talk) 02:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * And the airport's own site is no particular help, apparently using both: Retswerb (talk) 02:41, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I support the suggestion to merge them as there is no need for the duplication. Miri Airport, albeit having regular flights to Singapore, is not officially Miri "International" Airport, and I apologise for not including the source in the article. I say not official because all related government sites and MAHB itself never once categorised MYY in the international airport category (view these links:, and .)

 * Merging for sure, because it belongs to the same entity. In terms of naming, I prefer to use the Miri International Airport following the other common naming for other airports with international destination (unless there is a widely accepted official name of this airport according to the airport authority and the ministry of transportation).

 * The naming convention should remain as Miri Airport, largely parallel with other Malaysian airports with minimal short-haul international destinations - Sibu, Tawau, Sandakan, Ipoh. The post-pandemic Langkawi International Airport is currently having an almost exclusive domestic traffic, albeit it has previously hosted various mid and long-haul routes to Europe, Middle-East and China.--د بڠساون (talk) 14:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I agree, as a Mirian, I can say there the same thing. The naming of the page can be either, with a mention in the introduction JustAGuyNamed (talk) 15:12, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
