## Description

The airport carries the name of Fatmawati, the Bengkulu-born wife of founding president Sukarno, who sewed Indonesia's first national flag in 1945. BKS is the air outlet of the remote west-coast province of Bengkulu, served by Citilink, Lion Air, Batik Air and Wings Air, chiefly to Jakarta and Palembang. Cargo travels mainly as belly freight aboard these passenger flights; there are no dedicated freighter services. Typical outbound goods are Bengkulu robusta coffee and the region's palm-oil products, while inbound flows are led by consumer goods. Intercontinental volumes consolidate at Jakarta–Soekarno-Hatta (CGK), to which BKS connects as a first leg.
