Jugra Air Base (Malay: Pangkalan Udara Jugra), a heliport and military installation under the Royal Malaysian Air Force, is situated approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Klang and just 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the Straits of Malacca. Also known as RMAF Jugra, Kem Jugra (Jugra Camp) and Rejimen TUDM Jugra, this base serves as the home for both the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) special forces and infantry units.[1]
Although it is officially a heliport, it has not functioned as one since the 2016 Sikorsky S-61A-4 Nuri crash. Today, it serves as the headquarters for the RMAF Regiment. The air base may resume functioning as a heliport once they introduce a replacement for the Sikorsky S-61A-4 Nuri helicopter.[2][3]
