Bolaang Mongondow Airport (LKM)

Bolaang Mongondow Airport (LKM), also known as Raja Loloda Mokoagow Airport, is a domestic aviation facility serving the Lolak District in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Officially inaugurated in March 2024, the airport serves as a critical link for the regional economy and as a gateway for the pioneer flight program in northern Sulawesi. The facility operates from a single, compact passenger terminal building covering approximately 150 square meters, designed to handle up to 72 passengers during peak hours. The terminal building provides a modern and functional environment, housing all essential arrivals and departures services under one roof. Inside, travelers have access to centralized check-in counters, a security screening point, and a comfortable waiting lounge equipped with LCD screens for real-time flight information. Amenities at the terminal include basic necessities such as a small canteen for refreshments, clean restrooms, and a dedicated musholla (prayer room). The facility is also equipped with modern baggage handling systems, including conveyor belts and digital scales, ensuring a high standard of service for regional passengers. Flight operations at LKM are primarily conducted by regional carriers such as Susi Air and SAM Air, which provide essential connections to major regional hubs including Manado (MDC) and Gorontalo (GTO). The airport features a single 1,600-meter paved runway capable of accommodating regional aircraft such as the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan and ATR 72. Ground transportation to and from the terminal is highly convenient due to its location directly on the Trans-Sulawesi highway, approximately two kilometers from the Lolak town center. Travelers are encouraged to confirm their flight status in advance, as schedules are typically part of the government-subsidized pioneer flight network.
