Senai Airport City wraps around Senai International Airport in the Kulai district of Johor, within the Iskandar Malaysia region. The North–South Expressway and the Senai–Desaru Expressway meet nearby, so trucks reach the ports and Singapore without going through Johor Bahru city. View Senai Airport City on Google Maps.

Approximate travel times by road:

  • 5 minutes to the Senai International Airport cargo terminal
  • About 30 minutes to Johor Bahru city centre and the Causeway
  • About 40 minutes to the Second Link (Tuas) and to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas
  • About 40 minutes to Johor Port in Pasir Gudang, via the Senai–Desaru Expressway

What is inside Senai Airport City?

  • Free Industrial Zone: about 400 acres set aside for export manufacturers. Companies here can import raw materials and export finished goods without customs duties, as long as most of their output is exported.
  • i-Park @ Senai Airport City: a gated and guarded park of about 189 acres with detached factories for small and medium companies, many of them suppliers to the larger manufacturers.
  • Logistics and general industry: large detached factories and warehouses along Jalan SAC, used for logistics, e-commerce, food and manufacturing.

Johor–Singapore SEZ (JS-SEZ) incentives

Map of the nine JS-SEZ flagship areas in Johor

Senai is inside the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone. For qualifying new investments in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, logistics, aerospace and data centres, the main incentives are:

  • Corporate tax as low as 5% for up to 15 years
  • A 15% flat personal income tax rate for qualifying knowledge workers
  • Applications open from 2025 to 2034

Eligibility depends on the activity and the size of the investment. Check with MIDA or Invest Johor before you plan around them.

Things to check before you buy or rent

  • Free Zone or not: a factory inside the Free Industrial Zone suits exporters, but selling into the local market from it involves customs procedures. Confirm which side of the zone the unit is on.
  • Land use: check that the title allows your activity (light or medium industry) so you can get your business licence.
  • Power and height: check the Amp supply, whether it can be upgraded, and the clear height for racking or cranes.
  • Foreign buyers: state consent is needed before the transfer, which usually takes about 3 months.
