## Description

I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS, ICAO WADD) handled around 78,000 tonnes of cargo in the third quarter of 2025 alone, a 9% increase on the same quarter a year earlier, with international shipments making up 70% of that volume. Fresh tuna, seafood and cut flowers from Balinese waters form the backbone of that freight. Located near Tuban, roughly 13 km south of Denpasar, the airport is primarily a tourism gateway, now handling more than 25 million passengers a year in 2026. Perishables leave the island in the bellyholds of passenger jets and through the dedicated International Cargo Terminal, bound for Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Garuda Indonesia Cargo runs cool rooms and freezer units, while international handlers manage temperature-controlled exports. Customs clearance for Bali is co-located at the terminal, shortening turnaround for time-critical shipments. 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.
