Depati Amir Airport (PGK)

Depati Amir Airport (PGK), also known as Pangkal Pinang Airport, is the primary aviation gateway to Bangka Island in the Bangka-Belitung Islands province of Indonesia. The airport operates from a modern, single two-story passenger terminal that was significantly expanded in 2020 to handle up to 1.5 million passengers annually. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the island to major national hubs, most notably featuring frequent daily flights to Jakarta's Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.

The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its two levels, including several prayer rooms (*Musholla*) and the premium Sapphire Lounge in the domestic departure area, which offers buffet services and quiet workspaces. Travelers have access to multiple dining options serving local Bangka delicacies like fish noodles, alongside retail stores selling traditional handicrafts and regional snacks. The facility is fully accessible and offers free high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple ATMs, and currency exchange bureaus to accommodate the region's growing tourism and mining sectors.

Ground transportation to central Pangkal Pinang, located approximately 3 miles (5 km) to the northwest, is well-supported by official airport taxis and widely used ride-sharing apps like Grab and Gojek, with the journey typically taking 15 to 25 minutes. The facility also features an expanded parking lot capable of accommodating hundreds of vehicles and motorcycles situated immediately in front of the terminal building. The airport is primarily served by major Indonesian carriers like Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, and Sriwijaya Air, providing reliable connectivity for both business and leisure travelers.
