Palembang (PLM), in South Sumatra: Served by trunk flights. The largest share on this point is Energy projects, chemicals and building materials — small units, infrequent batches, tight deadlines. The value of air freight here is not saving on the rate but narrowing uncertainty to something plannable.
Sumatra's cargo is concentrated in plantations and agro-processing — Medan is the main northern gateway, Pekanbaru and Jambi serve palm and pulp, Palembang links to energy and chemicals, Padang covers the west-coast fisheries cold chain, Batam combines air with sea and road through its bonded and electronics zones, and Lampung benefits from easy road connections. Outside Medan and Batam, points are served mainly by trunk flights; heavy and oversized units need advance planning.
