A good number of the 400,000 or so passengers who used northeast Malaysia's Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in 2010 were Muslims who took advantage of the airport's seasonal direct flights to the sacred city of Medina during the hajj pilgrimage season. This Kepala Batas airport lies less than nine miles from Alor Setar with car rental in Sultan Abdul Halim Airport.
In addition to seasonal direct flights to the Saudi Arabian cities of Jeddah and Medina, this airport offers Firefly flights to Subang and flights to Kuala Lumpur with AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines throughout the year.
