About This Airport

Around 126,800 passengers and some 2,500 aircraft movements in 2024 place Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport (MLG/WARA) firmly in the small-regional category, despite serving a metropolitan area of well over a million people. The site at Pakis, roughly 10 km east of Malang in East Java, is an Indonesian Air Force base that also handles limited civil traffic, currently concentrated on the Jakarta route flown by Citilink and Batik Air. No dedicated cargo terminal or freighter operation exists here; air freight moves only as belly cargo on those passenger services, which suits couriers, samples and small consignments rather than palletised shipments. Exporters from the East Java hinterland — coffee, tobacco, furniture, perishables — normally use Juanda International Airport in Surabaya (SUB), about 90 road kilometres north, which offers customs clearance, perishables handling and international freighter connections. For heavier or bulky cargo, the seaport of Tanjung Perak in Surabaya remains the standard multimodal alternative, reached via the Malang–Surabaya toll road.
