Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport (WIPP) is a medium airport in Palembang, Indonesia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code WIPP or IATA code PLM. It sits in Asia.

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport sits near sea level at 49 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Jakarta. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport is an international airport serving the city of Palembang, the capital and largest city of South Sumatra, Indonesia, as well as its surrounding areas. The airport is located in the Talang Betutu district, approximately 10 km from the city center. Formerly known as Talang Betutu Airport, it was later renamed in honor of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II (1767–1852), the last sultan of Palembang and a revered Indonesian national hero. The airport is the primary gateway to Palembang and South Sumatra, offering flights to key cities across Indonesia, including Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Yogyakarta. The airport also offers international flights to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore. These services were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and in 2024 the airport’s international status was temporarily revoked due to the absence of international operations. The status was reinstated the following year.
