Location in Borneo

Lutong Airport (IATA: none, ICAO: WMLU[1]) was an airport serving Lutong, a satellite town North of Miri, a city in the state of Sarawak in Borneo. The airstrip used to belong to Royal Dutch Shell. The airport was decommissioned and its terminal and hangars have been demolished, with only the landing strip preserved. The strip was used for racing until the deteriorating condition of the strip rendered it unsuitable for car drag racing.[2]
