Pattimura Airport (IATA: AMQ, ICAO: WAPP), formerly known as Laha Airport, is an airport serving Ambon, the capital and largest city of Maluku Province, Indonesia. The airport is the largest and busiest in the Maluku Islands. Located 38 kilometers (23.6 miles) west of Ambon's city center, the airport is named after Thomas Matulessy (1783–1817), an Indonesian national hero from Maluku who is more widely known as Pattimura. He led the resistance against Dutch colonial forces in the 19th century. Pattimura Airport serves as the primary gateway to Ambon and the Maluku Islands, offering regular flights to major Indonesian cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar, as well as regional destinations within Maluku. The airport previously operated international flights to Darwin, Australia, but these services were later discontinued. Its international status was briefly revoked in 2024, before being reinstated the following year. In addition to its role as a commercial airport, Pattimura Airport also hosts Pattimura Air Force Base, a Type B installation of the Indonesian Air Force. The airbase is situated southeast of the passenger terminal, across the runway.
