Flights to Ternate
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ternate is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sultan Babullah Airport (TTE), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,875 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Babullah Airport (regional) | TTE | 4 km (2 mi) | 5,875 ft | 49 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,875 ft, TTE 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.
