The Miri Non-International Airport visitor traffic from 2006 until July 2010. Miri Airport is still the third busiest airport after Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Every day, there are an average of 110 flights going in and out at the non-international airport.

My take:
It seems that there are plans for an 'extension' of the Miri Non-International Airport terminal yet again and a budget for this is being evaluated. With such minor traffic increase (see above table) since 2006, it seems as if the 'extension' is not to ease the traffic, but rather a 'fix' to right all the design flaws brought by the terminal 'rebuild' in 2003.
