Flights to Pekanbaru
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Pekanbaru is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport / Roesmin Nurjadin AFB (PKU), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,360 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport / Roesmin Nurjadin AFB (regional) | PKU | 6 km (4 mi) | 7,360 ft | 102 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,360 ft, PKU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 102 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
