Flights to Makassar
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Makassar is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 10,171-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport | UPG | 16 km (10 mi) | 10,171 ft | 47 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,171 ft, UPG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 47 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
