๐ข Terminal Information
Sam Ratulangi Airport operates from a single terminal building serving North Sulawesi and the Bunaken National Marine Park region with approximately 4 million passengers annually. The terminal handles both domestic Indonesian routes and limited international flights primarily to Singapore and the Philippines. The airport serves as a crucial gateway for eco-tourists visiting the world-renowned diving sites around Manado. Walking distances are manageable: check-in to gates typically 8-15 minutes. Security processing generally takes 15-25 minutes with additional time during peak diving season when equipment inspections are more thorough. The terminal offers basic amenities including local Indonesian restaurants, small shops, and limited duty-free. Ground transportation includes taxis, airport buses, and hotel shuttles connecting to Manado city center (45 minutes) and beach resorts. The airport's strategic location makes it the primary entry point for visitors to North Sulawesi's marine biodiversity, including the famous Bunaken and Lembeh Strait diving destinations. While facilities are more basic than major international hubs, the airport efficiently serves its role as a regional gateway.
