Lede Kalumbang Airport (TMC)

Lede Kalumbang Airport is the gateway to West Sumba, on Sumba Island in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province. Compare flights and set a Price Alert with Traveloka before you book.

Overview of Lede Kalumbang Airport

Located in Tambolaka, Southwest Sumba Regency, around 45km northwest of Waikabubak, TMC was renamed in 2022 (from Tambolaka Airport) in honour of Leonardus Lede Kalumbang, the first regent of West Sumba. It's a small regional airport, with a 2,300m runway able to take narrow-body aircraft like the A320 and Boeing 737, and a 2,400 sqm terminal that can process up to around 250 passengers per departure.

Airlines and Routes

Citilink, NAM Air and Wings Air serve TMC, mostly with ATR 72-600 turboprops on short inter-island hops — typically connecting Sumba with Bali (Denpasar) and other stops in eastern Indonesia. TMC is the main air link for travellers heading to West Sumba's surf breaks, beaches and eco-resorts.

Terminal at Lede Kalumbang Airport

The terminal's design draws on traditional Sumbanese house architecture, with an air-conditioned waiting area, a prayer room, clean restrooms, a children's play area and small shops selling snacks and local souvenirs.

Getting To and From Tambolaka

There's no public bus network here — taxis and pre-arranged transfers are the way to get around, and many resorts on the island offer their own airport pickup. Car or motorbike hire is also worth arranging in advance if you're exploring further afield, since West Sumba's attractions are spread out.
