Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport guide

Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport serves Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi, from a site on the border between Makassar and Maros Regency. It is the main gateway to eastern Indonesia. The airport is named after Sultan Hasanuddin, a 17th-century ruler of the Gowa Sultanate.

The current airport replaced the older Mandai airfield, which opened in 1937. Passenger operations at the Maros site began on 4 August 2008, and the terminal was inaugurated on 26 September 2008. An expansion completed in June 2024 raised terminal capacity from 7 million to more than 15 million passengers a year. Two asphalt runways, 03/21 at 3,202 metres and 13/31 at 2,500 metres, handle the traffic.

In 2024 the airport recorded about 9.7 million passengers and 72,939 aircraft movements. Domestic routes to Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Jayapura and Ambon dominate the schedule, with international services to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. InJourney Airports operates the airport for the Government of Indonesia.
