3OCT26: F1 In Sepang! - WMKK Fly-In Event

image

In 150 AD, the Malay Peninsula was named the “Peninsula of Gold” by the geographer Ptolemy, as ancient empires competed for the raw wealth hidden beneath Malaysia’s soil. Gaining access was no easy feat, as they navigated treacherous waters and fought unforgiving monsoons.

Fast forward to the present day, where 22 of the world’s most skilled drivers continue the hunt for their own gold, and it sits on Sepang’s top step of the podium.

Welcome to the 16th round of the 2026 Formula 1 season! Having been off the calendar for 9 years, Malaysia makes a return to the F1 calendar, substituting the Bahrain circuit amid tensions in the Middle East.

Malaysia Virtual Airlines would like to invite all pilots and Formula 1 fans from across the world to come join us for a Fly-In event at our hub in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate this special occasion! The gold awaits your arrival.

IATA:KUL | ICAO:WMKK

Our hub, KLIA, is one of the largest and busiest airports in Southeast Asia and is the primary gateway to Malaysia. It is located approximately 45km away from the city center and, rather conveniently, is located adjacent to the Sepang International Circuit.

KLIA has 2 main terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. While both are within the same airport property, they each operate almost independently, with each terminal having dedicated runways and being segregated from each other.

Terminal 1 is the older, main terminal of KLIA, including the Satellite A building connected by the Aerotrain, an automated guideway transit system. The main building of Terminal 1 is shaped in a linear, pier-like design, with additional remote stands to boost capacity further. The main terminal is mainly used by Malaysia Airlines and Batik Malaysia. The Satellite A building is designed in a cross shape, mainly handling all other international traffic.

Terminal 2 (branded as klia2) is the newer terminal, designed in a linear, satellite-like design, with a passenger bridge connecting them. It is exclusively used for low-cost carriers, mainly AirAsia.

Runway Length Notes
14L/32R 13,186ft Terminal 1 traffic only. This runway is usually an arrival runway, but can change.
14R/32L 13,123ft Terminal 1 traffic only. This runway is usually a departure runway, but can change.
15/33 12,992ft Terminal 2 traffic only. Used for both departure and arrival.
