## Description

Around 2,100 square metres of the old passenger terminal now handle freight at Sultan Babullah Airport (TTE), signalling Ternate's push to grow exports. Serving North Maluku's spice and fishing economy, the airport links to Jakarta, Makassar, Manado, Ambon and Sorong. Cargo moves as belly load on these scheduled flights, and a planned cold-storage unit aims to pre-chill fresh fish and marine produce for export. Intercontinental shipments are consolidated through the Makassar interchange (UPG), where larger aircraft and full freighters take over. With no rail on the island, air and sea freight via the port of Ahmad Yani work in tandem. Tonnages stay modest, yet Ternate is a dependable collection point for cloves, nutmeg and seafood.
