Haluoleo Airport

Haluoleo Airport

Haluoleo Airport, formerly Wolter Monginsidi Airport, is a domestic airport serving Kendari, the capital of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Although the airport primarily serves Kendari, it is located outside the city limits, in Ranomeeto, South Konawe Regency, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) from Kendari’s city center. It is named after Halu Oleo (1488–1584), the sixth sultan of the Buton Sultanate. The airport was previously named in honor of Robert Wolter Monginsidi (1925–1949), an Indonesian national hero who was executed by the Dutch during the Indonesian National Revolution. Haluoleo Airport is the primary gateway to Kendari and the wider Southeast Sulawesi province. It offers regular flights to major Indonesian cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar, as well as regional connections to destinations within the province, including Bau-Bau and the Wangi-Wangi Islands.
