Airports at each end
Leaving Palu
Palu is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Mutiara - SIS Al-Jufrie Airport (PLW), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,781 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru | BLR | 28 km (17 mi) | 13,123 ft | 3,000 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 4,911 km (3,051 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
