s. It is the first airport terminal in Indonesia designed in a high-tech architecture style. The expansion of the terminal is currently under construction and expected to be finished in mid 2021.

Traffic figures

Since the beginning of the new millennium, passenger numbers have increased more than sixfold. Historically air freight traffic has played a minor role in Makassar from an economic standpoint. It has developed slowly in part due to the relatively high license fee by the operator, currently 25 rupiah per kg of body construction and 15 rupiah per kg for the goods introduction.
