Tampa Padang Airport

Tampa Padang Airport first opened in the early 1970s and serves as the primary regional gateway for Mamuju and West Sulawesi, operating from a single compact terminal after a series of upgrades in the 2010s. This small but important airport links the province with major hubs like Makassar and Jakarta, handling mainly domestic services and occasional charter flights. It’s about a 10–20 minute drive from Mamuju city center and is reachable by taxis, hotel shuttles and local minibuses, though public transport is limited. Tampa Padang is generally budget-friendly for domestic travelers and is served by carriers such as Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air/Wings Air and Batik Air.
