## Description

Around 23.9 million passengers passed through I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in 2024, nearly matching Bali's pre-pandemic peak of 24 million set in 2019 – figures that make this one of Indonesia's busiest gateways. Behind the tourist traffic sits a focused freight operation built on perishables: fresh tuna, seafood and cut flowers leave the island in the bellyholds of passenger jets and through the dedicated International Cargo Terminal. Garuda Indonesia Cargo runs cool rooms and freezer units, while handlers such as Qantas Freight manage temperature-controlled exports to Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Customs clearance for Bali is co-located at the terminal, shortening turnaround for time-critical shipments. The airport sits roughly 13 km south of Denpasar, with motorway access to the island's resorts and ports. For full-freighter capacity, forwarders supplement Bali with Jakarta (CGK) or Surabaya (SUB). The defining trait here is value over volume: high-margin, fast-moving fresh goods rather than bulk tonnage.
