Soewondo Air Force Base

Soewondo Air Force Base (WIMK) is a medium airport in Medan, Indonesia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code WIMK or IATA code MES. It sits in Asia.

Soewondo Air Force Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Soewondo Air Force Base sits near sea level at 114 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Jakarta. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for WIMK updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
