  "connection_tips": "Buli Airport serves the Buru Island area of eastern Indonesia, so the connection is a local road or island transfer rather than a big airport interchange. The useful planning question is not how to switch airlines but how to get from the strip to the town, the port, or the next part of your island itinerary. Because the airport is small and the transport network is local, it is worth arranging the pickup or car in advance and keeping your timing flexible in case the flight or the weather shifts. If you are going deeper into Buru, the airport is just the first step, and you should think in terms of a road journey or a boat connection after you land. That makes PGQ similar to many regional island airports: valuable because it shortens the first leg, not because it gives you a complex transfer system. For travelers with work or family plans in Pekaulang and the surrounding settlements, the best strategy is to line up the local contact and treat the airport as a simple arrival point. If you are continuing onward to other parts of Maluku, the real connection is likely to happen through a port or a larger island access point, not through a same-day airline chain. In short, Buli Airport is useful when the ground side is already sorted and frustrating when you expect it to behave like a hub.",

  "terminal_info": "Buli Airport (PGQ), also known as Pekaulang Airport, is a regional aviation facility located in the settlement of Buli within the East Halmahera Regency of North Maluku, Indonesia. The airport operates from a single, compact passenger terminal designed primarily to facilitate 'pioneer' (perintis) domestic flights and essential cargo transport. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the eastern part of Halmahera Island to the regional hub of Ternate.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is functional and focused on essential transit services, providing a sheltered waiting area and basic check-in counters that typically open shortly before scheduled flights. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities like retail shops or duty-free outlets, travelers can find small kiosks or local food stalls (*warungs*) situated just outside the building offering snacks and beverages. Due to the limited services available on-site, travelers are strongly encouraged to handle significant financial needs and major meals in Buli town prior to arrival.\n\nOperationally, the airport is primarily served by Susi Air and regional turboprop carriers, providing regular but low-frequency links to Sultan Babullah Airport in Ternate. Ground transportation to the Buli village center is informal, with visitors typically utilizing local motorcycle taxis known as *ojek* or pre-arranged private vehicle transfers. For those heading to the regional administrative center of Maba, the journey involves a scenic but lengthy 2 to 3-hour road trip, making the airport a vital starting point for travelers exploring this remote part of the archipelago.",
