## Description

Around ten to fifteen flights a day link Palu with Jakarta, Makassar and Surabaya from Mutiara SIS Al-Jufrie Airport (IATA: PLW, ICAO: WAFF), the capital airport of Central Sulawesi and rebuilt after the 2018 earthquake and tsunami. Lion Air, Batik Air, Wings Air, Garuda Indonesia and Citilink share the schedule, and on 11 August 2025 the field was formally upgraded to international status, with overseas routes planned for 2026. Freight still moves chiefly as belly cargo on these passenger flights, as there is no large dedicated cargo terminal, so its cargo flag stays no. Heavier consignments reach the region through the nearby seaport of Pantoloan or are consolidated as air freight via Makassar (UPG). The dual name honours the local Islamic scholar Sayyid Idrus bin Salim Al-Jufri.
