Pengkalan Chepa (Kelantanese: Kaley Chepo) is a town and parliamentary constituency in Kelantan, Malaysia. Situated about 8 km (5 mi) from Kota Bharu, the state capital, it is within the Kota Bharu metropolitan area.
Pengkalan Chepa is where the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport is located.
The town was a focal point of Cham people coming to Kelantan for trade and religious studies for centuries; the name "Chepa" (Jawi: چڤا, modern spelling: Cepa) is in reference to their former kingdom of Champa hence "Champa Landing".[1]
