A town in the northwest of Malaysia with a small airport.
Alor Star and Biggles[]
- In Biggles - Air Commodore, Squadron Leader Tom Lowery suggests, in a letter to Biggles, that they might meet up at Alor (meaning Alor Star), or Singapore.
- In Biggles and the Lost Sovereigns, Air Commodore Raymond mentions it as an airfield which could serve as a refuelling stop near to the Mergui Archipelago. In the event, Biggles chose to use Penang, probably it was larger and better equipped.
- In Biggles and the Blue Moon, Biggles mentions that Malaysian Airways served all the main towns in Malaysia, such as Alor Star but he wouldn't count on being able to rent a suitable aircraft from them (chapter 2).
