Encyclopaedia

Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin Airport is a domestic airport located approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the south of the city of Bima, the largest town on the island of Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The airport was previously known as Palibelo Airport, named after the district in which it is located. The name was later discontinued when the airport was renamed in honor of Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin, the last ruler of the Bima Sultanate and a national hero of Indonesia. The airport is the largest and busiest in Sumbawa, and one of only two airports on the island that serve regular scheduled flights, the other being Sultan Muhammad Kaharuddin III Airport in Sumbawa Besar in the western part of Sumbawa. It serves as the main gateway to Bima and the eastern region of the island, with regular flights to Denpasar, Lombok, and Makassar.
