Flights to Palembang
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Palembang is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport (PLM), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport (regional) | PLM | 6 km (4 mi) | 8,202 ft | 49 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, PLM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 49 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
