Central Sulawesi officials are urging Garuda Indonesia to introduce new flight routes from Palu, aiming to make Mutiara SIS Al-Jufrie Airport an international hub. They highlight that having direct service would benefit Hajj pilgrims and improve regional economic connectivity. Local representatives have been actively lobbying the airline and government to support the expansion. Currently, Palu connects only to domestic destinations like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar. Officials argue that adding international flights would boost tourism, investment, and convenience for travelers. The push reflects growing local ambitions to elevate Central Sulawesi’s aviation infrastructure.
