About Tanjung Api Airport

Tanjung Api Airport (OJU) is a small domestic airport serving Ampana, the main town of Tojo Una-Una Regency in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. For travellers it is mainly the air gateway to Ampana, the departure point for boats to the Togean Islands.

Where Tanjung Api Airport Is in Ampana

The airport lies in Ampana Tete district, about 5 km from central Ampana. The short drive into town makes it easy to connect with hotels and the harbour. By road, the journey from Palu to Ampana can take many hours, which is why the air link matters locally.

Terminal at Tanjung Api Airport

The two-storey terminal has a distinctive design inspired by the maleo, a bird native to Sulawesi. Inside are check-in counters, a baggage claim area and a prayer room. It is a quiet terminal, so do not expect many shops or food outlets.
