## Description

Named after a Moluccan national hero, Karel Sadsuitubun Airport (IATA: LUV) sits on Kei Kecil island in Southeast Maluku and links the remote Kei archipelago to Indonesia's domestic network. Carriers such as Wings Air and Citilink operate turboprop services to Ambon and Tual, so passenger and government traffic dominate. Dedicated freight capacity is minimal; goods travel as belly cargo on these regional flights. Genuine air-cargo consolidation runs through Pattimura Airport in Ambon (AMQ) and onward to the Makassar hub (UPG) on Sulawesi. The surrounding Banda Sea fisheries and pearl trade shape local demand for fast links.
