The airport is complemented by Sitiawan Airport located in the mainland.
In 1970, the Perak state government studied a site for an airstrip, located near the government rest house at Pasir Bogak. The airstrip would be used by light aircraft and helicopters.[2]
Plans to construct the airport then only an airstrip was announced in 1984.[3]
The airport was expected to be completed in July 1992,[4] but was delayed to January 1993.[5]
