Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are available at a dedicated counter inside the arrival terminal. They typically operate on a fixed-price or coupon system to various zones in Ternate city. Ride-hailing services like Grab and Gojek are also widely used and can be a cost-effective alternative, though you may need to meet your driver at a designated pick-up point just outside the main terminal area.

Rental Cars

Car rental services are primarily offered by local providers rather than major international chains. The most common option is to rent a car with a driver, which is recommended for visitors unfamiliar with local driving conditions. It is best to arrange rentals in advance online or through your hotel to ensure availability upon arrival.

Public Transportation

There is no direct, dedicated public bus or train service from the airport terminal. The local public transport consists of minivans known as 'angkot' or 'bemo', which pass on the main road outside the airport complex. However, this option is not practical for travelers with luggage and can be difficult to navigate without local knowledge.

re: Closed Aerodrome Posted by david on December 5, 2011

Reply to @YD1TNK: Thank you for the comment. From reading a translation of the story, it looks like the airport closing is only temporary, while volcanic ash and smoke reduces visibility. Please let us know if the airport remains closed for more than a couple of months, and we'll mark it as "closed" in the database.
