Bolaang Mongondow Airport guide

Bolaang Mongondow Airport sits at Lalow in Lolak District, on the north coast of Sulawesi. Lolak is the administrative seat of Bolaang Mongondow Regency in North Sulawesi province. The airport is also known as Raja Loloda Mokoagow Airport, after a former king of the Kingdom of Bolaang Mongondow. Its ICAO code is WAMI, and it sits at an elevation of about 28 feet (9 metres).

The first aircraft landed here on 18 February 2024, which makes it one of the newest airports in the province. It has a single asphalt runway, designated 11/29, that is 1,600 metres long. That length suits small turboprop and commuter aircraft rather than jets.

The airport is owned by Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation and run by a Class II airport unit, the Unit Penyelenggara Bandar Udara Kelas II Bolaang Mongondow. Susi Air flies from here to Manado and Gorontalo using small aircraft. Kotamobagu, the largest nearby town, has been a separate administrative city since 2007 and lies inland to the southeast. Visitors usually arrive by pre-booked car, because no scheduled airport bus or rail link serves the site.
