Jalaluddin Airport
Gorontalo, Indonesia
Djalaluddin Airport (IATA: GTO, ICAO: WAMG), formerly known as Tolotio Airport, is an airport in Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo, Indonesia (IATA: GTO, ICAO: WAMG). It is located 30 km west of Gorontalo's city center. It is operated by the Ministry of Transportation. The airport is the main gateway to Gorontalo and is named after Djalaluddin Tantu, a colonel in the Indonesian Air Force from Gorontalo. He was killed during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation when his C-130 Hercules was shot down over Malaysia in 1964. Currently, the airport operates domestic flights to major cities in Sulawesi, such as Makassar and Manado, as well as to rural areas, along with direct flights to Jakarta. There are also proposals to upgrade the airport to international status by introducing routes to Malaysia and the Philippines. A new, significantly larger terminal began operations in May 2016, replacing the old and overcrowded one. The old terminal is now only used for Hajj Embarkation.
