FLZ Airport (Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

2,190 metres of hotmix asphalt, 30 metres wide, runway 12/30 rated 34 F/C/Y/T — the physical limits at Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing Airport (FLZ/WIMS) in Pinangsori allow turboprops and smaller narrow-bodies, not freighters. Indonesia's transport ministry runs it as a Class III UPBU for Central Tapanuli regency in North Sumatra, a little over 20 kilometres from the port city of Sibolga. Wings Air flies ATR turboprops mainly to Medan; in 2026 Governor Bobby Nasution opened a new route to Pekanbaru, and a working group in July 2026 examined restoring the Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta service. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter traffic and no customs post for international consignments, so goods travel as limited belly loads. Sibolga's fish catch and other time-sensitive freight therefore reach world markets by road to Kualanamu (KNO) near Medan, which offers cargo handling, customs clearance and international connections, or by sea from Sibolga port. The drive to Medan along the Trans-Sumatra corridor is long and weather-dependent, so shippers should plan generous pre-carriage time. For forwarders, FLZ is a feeder point with road and sea links rather than an air cargo station.
