Long Sukang Airport (IATA: LSUICAO: WBGU)[2] is a small airport near Long Sukang, a Lun Bawang settlement in the Lawas division of Sarawak, Malaysia, and is one of four airports in the Lawas division.[3]

Improvements to this rural airfield were carried out in 1974 by the Malaysian Public Works Department (Jabatan Kerja Raya), and were substantially completed by the end of the year; the airfield opened to scheduled Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flights in April 1975.[4] This airfield, together with those at Long Semadoh and Ba'kelalan, helped to accelerate development among the Lun Bawang people.[5]

No accidents have been recorded at this airport.[6] There are currently no scheduled flights using Long Sukang airport.
