The Secret Studio Updates WBGG - Kuching Intl.
Located in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak in Malaysia, WBGG serves as both a commercial airport and an air base. The airport's history dates back to the early 1940s when it was established as a Royal Air Force airfield during World War II. Initially known as Kuching Airfield, it played a vital role in supporting military operations in the region. With their recent update for this airport, The Secret Studio promises to deliver an even more immersive version for virtual pilots.
Over the years, the airfield transformed into a significant aviation hub, serving as the primary gateway to Sarawak. Today, Kuching International Airport welcomes numerous domestic and international flights, connecting travelers to various destinations worldwide.
