Airport Overview
Pattimura Airport serves Ambon and the wider Maluku province.
Pattimura Airport is a regional aviation hub serving Ambon and the wider Maluku province in eastern Indonesia.

This state-owned airport operator manages a broad range of everyday responsibilities, from passenger processing and baggage handling to the upkeep of airfield infrastructure and the co-ordination of retail and service providers operating inside the terminal building.

Whether travelling for tourism, business, family visits, or onward domestic connections, understanding the airport's role and the organisation that runs it helps travellers set expectations for check-in, ground movement, and onward travel from the island capital of Ambon.
