Total 3 airports of WADA
Selaparang Airport (closed 2011) (IATA: AMI, ICAO:WADA) is located in the the city of Mataram, Indonesia. It is the primary international airport serving Mataram and its surrounding metropolitan area.
Airport Overview
Selaparang Airport (closed 2011) was the former civil airport serving Mataram and Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The airport ceased operations on 30 September 2011 after commercial flights and airport resources were transferred to the new Lombok International Airport. It must therefore be treated as a historical airport reference rather than an active origin, destination, transit point or cargo-handling facility.
For international forwarding enquiries involving Mataram or Lombok, our service team first validates the current airport, customs point, airline acceptance status and inland delivery arrangement. The supplied airport record places Selaparang Airport at approximately 16 metres above sea level, at coordinates 116.0950012, -8.5607100, with a former 2,089-metre runway and a historical cargo terminal. These figures describe the former facility and do not indicate present operational capability.
Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
- The supplied historical record identifies a former cargo terminal of approximately 420 square metres. This is a historical reference only and should not be interpreted as an available warehouse, bonded facility or current cargo terminal.
- Current cold-chain, dangerous-goods storage, live-animal handling, bonded storage and customs inspection arrangements must be checked against the operating airport selected for the shipment.
- Warehouse acceptance, security screening, pallet build-up, documentation cut-off and delivery-release procedures will depend on the current airline, ground handler and airport authority.
- Our service team can coordinate a routing review to determine whether cargo should move through the operating Lombok gateway or through an Indonesian gateway better suited to the shipment profile.
Routes & Transit Times
- No current route, airline schedule, cargo frequency or transit time should be assigned to Selaparang Airport (closed 2011). Any booking request showing this airport requires immediate correction before rate confirmation.
- Historically, the airport handled domestic passenger and cargo movements serving the Mataram and Lombok market. Historical airline or route information should not be used to plan present-day uplift.
- For current shipments, our service team normally evaluates the operating Lombok gateway, Indonesian consolidation points and available road-feeder connections. Actual routing depends on airline acceptance, capacity, customs status, security screening and destination connectivity.
- Transit time is subject to confirmed flight space, transfer handling, weekends and public holidays, customs inspection, weather, volcanic or other operational disruption, and final-mile access on Lombok.
All routing and transit estimates are indicative until the operating airport, airline booking and handling milestones are confirmed in writing.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- The historical catchment area covered Mataram and wider Lombok. Current cargo planning must distinguish the city or island destination from the airport actually accepting the freight.
- Potential demand from the region may include tourism-related supplies, retail replenishment, general consumer goods, spare parts, project materials and time-sensitive commercial shipments; commodity acceptance remains subject to the selected airline and current gateway.
- Perishable, pharmaceutical, seafood, agricultural and temperature-sensitive cargo requires confirmed cold-chain transfer points and handling responsibility before dispatch. The former Selaparang facility should not be assumed to provide such services.
- Oversized, dangerous, high-value or controlled cargo may require a different Indonesian gateway, special equipment, advance approval and a dedicated airport-to-door plan.
Operations & Compliance
- Airport validation: Confirm the operating airport before preparing the master and house air waybills. Do not use Selaparang Airport (closed 2011) as a live origin, destination or transit airport.
- Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, export declaration information and any commodity-specific permits must match the confirmed routing and Indonesian customs process.
- Regulated cargo: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, dry ice, pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals and other controlled commodities require advance airline and handling approval. Classification, packing, marking, labelling and declarations must be completed before cargo tender.
- Customs and delivery: Customs inspection, security screening, terminal acceptance, storage, demurrage and final-mile release conditions are determined by the active gateway and appointed ground handler, not by the historical Selaparang facilities.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the exact Mataram or Lombok delivery address, cargo description, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, ready date and any temperature or regulatory requirements.
- Ask for an airport validation and routing proposal before printing shipping marks or issuing transport documents. The booking should identify the active airport and the responsible handling party.
- For temperature-sensitive or urgent cargo, use validated packaging, an agreed temperature range, data-logger requirements and a documented handover plan at every transfer point.
- Keep an alternative Indonesian gateway and road-feeder option available when capacity, weather, customs inspection or special-cargo acceptance affects the primary plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can our shipment be booked directly through Selaparang Airport (closed 2011)?
No. The airport ceased operations in 2011. Our service team must arrange the shipment through a currently operating airport and confirm the applicable airline, ground handler and customs process.
Why does an air waybill or booking system still display the AMI reference?
Historical airport records and legacy databases may retain the IATA reference. Its appearance does not demonstrate current flight or cargo availability. We verify the airport status before accepting routing instructions.
Can the former 420-square-metre cargo terminal handle my goods?
No current handling availability should be assumed from that historical figure. The supplied record describes a former cargo terminal; present warehousing, screening, customs and special-cargo services must be confirmed at the active gateway.
Which details are needed for a current Mataram or Lombok quotation?
Provide the delivery postcode or full address, commodity, packaging, dimensions, weight, value, ready date, Incoterm, customs status and any dangerous-goods, temperature-control or permit requirements. We will then assess the operating airport and inland connection.
Will transit time be the same as the former Selaparang routing?
No. Current transit time depends on the operating airport, available uplift, transfer points, customs processing, ground transport and final delivery conditions. Any estimate is subject to confirmed space and operational acceptance.
Data Sources & Provenance
The airport identifiers, historical name, location, coordinates and former infrastructure figures in this module are based on the supplied airport record for Selaparang Airport (closed 2011)(AMI / WADA). Historical figures are not treated as current operating capacity.
For operational-status, civil-aviation and airport-authority cross-checks, our service team uses the relevant Indonesian government and airport-management information available through:
Current airport acceptance, airline schedules, cargo cut-offs, customs procedures, handling capacity and transit times remain subject to confirmation by the operating airport, airline, ground handler and Indonesian authorities at the time of booking.
Gwadar International Airport (IATA: GWD, ICAO:OPGD) is located in the the city of Gwadar, Pakistan.
Airport Overview
Gwadar International Airport(GWD)is located near Gwadar in Balochistan, Pakistan, at approximately 25.2332993°N and 62.3294983°E. The airport is positioned to serve the Gwadar coastal area and its developing port, industrial and regional-connectivity requirements. For international freight forwarders, it should be treated as a developing gateway rather than an established high-frequency cargo hub. The supplied airport record identifies the facility as an international airport, but it does not confirm current cargo-terminal operations, scheduled freighter activity, customs availability or regular commercial uplift. Our service team therefore verifies operational status, cargo acceptance, airline allotment and handling arrangements before quoting an executable routing.

Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
The following capabilities must be confirmed with the airport operator, appointed ground handler, airline and Pakistan customs before cargo is tendered:
- Cargo terminal and acceptance: confirm whether general cargo is accepted, the responsible handling party, delivery point, acceptance hours and physical cargo cut-off.
- Customs and controlled cargo: verify whether export or import customs processing is available at the airport for the intended shipment, or whether clearance must occur through another gateway.
- Special handling: obtain written confirmation for temperature-controlled cargo, pharmaceuticals, valuables, oversized pieces, live animals and dangerous goods before booking.
- Storage and security: confirm temporary storage, screening, security escort, pallet or ULD handling, after-hours access and collection procedures; no warehouse, bonded-storage or cold-room capability is assumed without confirmation.
- Ground transport interface: if the airport cannot provide the required handling chain, our service team will assess trucking, cross-docking and alternative Pakistani gateway options.
Routes & Transit Times
- Potential international movements normally require a confirmed operating carrier and may involve an intermediate Pakistani or regional gateway. Specific airline, frequency, aircraft type and available cargo allotment must be verified at booking.
- For export cargo from Gwadar, our team compares airport uplift with road feeder transport to a gateway that has confirmed international cargo acceptance and customs processing.
- For imports, the critical planning points are the destination gateway, customs location, release documentation, security handover and final road delivery into Gwadar.
- Transit time is affected by flight availability, transshipment, customs inspection, road conditions, security arrangements, weather and whether the shipment requires special handling. Any schedule supplied by our team remains subject to carrier confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Gwadar serves the city and surrounding coastal areas of Balochistan. Its logistics profile is more closely connected with port development, infrastructure, marine services and regional supply requirements than with a dense, established air-cargo manufacturing cluster.
- Project and industrial cargo: urgent spare parts, electrical components, control equipment, tools and time-sensitive machinery parts may be considered after dimensions, value and handling requirements are checked.
- Marine and port support: ship-repair items, safety equipment, technical consumables and documentation-sensitive supplies may require rapid delivery, but oversized or hazardous articles need advance acceptance.
- Consumer and regional replenishment: general merchandise and small commercial consignments may be routed through a confirmed gateway when local direct uplift is unavailable.
- Perishables and pharmaceuticals: these should not be tendered until temperature protection, storage dwell time, customs release and last-mile controls are documented.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: do not rely on a generic airport cut-off. Confirm the carrier’s cargo cut-off, acceptance appointment, screening deadline and document cut-off for each movement.
- Dangerous goods: provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing instruction, quantity and shipper’s declaration where applicable. Acceptance depends on carrier, route, aircraft and handling approval.
- Customs documents: prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, export or import permits where required, and consistent HS classification. Name, quantity, value and country-of-origin data must match across documents.
- Release and delivery: confirm consignee identification, customs broker appointment, payment of assessed charges, delivery address, security restrictions and truck access before the shipment arrives.
Shipping Tips
- Send the commercial invoice, packing list, cargo dimensions, gross weight, commodity description, HS code, value and required delivery date before requesting a firm routing.
- Request a pre-check for lithium batteries, chemicals, magnets, aerosols, fuels, medical products, food, live animals and any cargo requiring permits or temperature control.
- Use export-grade packaging with visible piece marks, handling labels and moisture protection. For high-value or fragile cargo, request screening and security arrangements in writing.
- Ask our service team to quote at least one confirmed airport-to-airport option and one gateway-plus-road alternative when direct acceptance at Gwadar cannot be confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
International designation alone does not confirm current cargo acceptance. Our service team verifies the operating status, handling agent, customs process and carrier acceptance for the requested date and commodity.
Do not assume a direct cargo flight or scheduled freighter. Direct uplift, passenger-belly capacity and carrier allotment are subject to current airline operations and must be confirmed before booking.
We first check direct acceptance and then compare a confirmed Pakistani or regional gateway with secure road feeder transport. The preferred option depends on customs location, road conditions, cargo value and delivery deadline.
Only after the airline, ground handler, storage point and customs chain approve the shipment. Provide the complete technical declaration before space is requested; acceptance is not guaranteed by airport designation.

Vijayawada Airport (IATA: VGA, ICAO:VOBZ) is located in the the city of Vijayawada, India.
Vijayawada Airport (VGA) Air Freight Guide
Vijayawada Airport is a regional passenger airport serving Vijayawada and the wider Andhra Pradesh market in India. Its logistics role is primarily that of a regional origin and destination gateway, with international cargo commonly requiring coordination through a larger Indian gateway when direct uplift, customs handling, or suitable aircraft capacity is not available. The airport is located at approximately 16.5303993, 80.7967987 and operates on India Standard Time, UTC+05:30. Our service team uses the airport as part of a routing plan rather than assuming direct freighter availability.
| Airport name | Vijayawada Airport |
|---|---|
| IATA / ICAO | VGA / VOBZ |
| City and country | Vijayawada, India |
| Coordinates | 16.5303993, 80.7967987 |
| Local time | UTC+05:30 |
Key Highlights
- Regional gateway: suitable for planned regional shipments, while international routings may need a domestic trucking or air connection.
- Capacity is flight-dependent: available belly space, aircraft type, operating days, and carrier acceptance should be checked before quoting.
- Gateway selection matters: larger Indian airports may offer broader international connectivity, specialist cargo handling, and more flexible recovery options.
Fast Forwarder Assessment
- Confirm whether the shipment is accepted at origin or must be consolidated through another airport.
- Separate ordinary cargo from temperature-sensitive, dangerous, live-animal, or oversized shipments at the quotation stage.
- Allow additional planning time for domestic transfer, customs coordination, and terminal cut-off changes.
Cargo Facilities & Services
- Our team confirms the active cargo acceptance point, handling agent, operating window, and shipment handover procedure for each booking.
- General cargo acceptance is subject to carrier capacity, security screening, packaging condition, and the handling agent’s current operating procedures.
- For pharmaceuticals, perishables, and other temperature-sensitive goods, dedicated cool-chain availability and transfer exposure must be confirmed before uplift.
- Dangerous-goods acceptance, secure storage, live-animal handling, valuables handling, and oversized cargo capability must be approved case by case; these services should not be assumed from passenger-airport status.
- Where a shipment needs bonded movement, customs examination, or export documentation support, our service team coordinates the required handover with the appointed customs broker and carrier.
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical planning options may combine Vijayawada Airport with a larger Indian gateway, followed by an international sector or onward domestic connection. The actual routing depends on the booking date, carrier network, and cargo profile.
- Regional belly capacity can be more schedule-sensitive than dedicated freighter capacity. Our team checks operating days, aircraft type, allotment, and confirmed space rather than relying on a nominal city-pair schedule.
- Transit time is affected by domestic transfer distance, airport cut-off, customs release, security screening, connection protection, weekends, public holidays, and rebooking risk.
- For urgent cargo, we compare an airport-origin solution with truck-to-gateway or an alternative Indian gateway. The final transit commitment is issued only after carrier and handling confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Vijayawada Airport serves Vijayawada and surrounding Andhra Pradesh commercial and industrial areas. Our platform evaluates the pickup address, cargo readiness, and final delivery point before selecting the airport.
- Potential regional cargo profiles include time-sensitive commercial shipments, engineering parts, electronics, documents, samples, apparel, and general manufactured goods.
- Fresh produce, seafood, flowers, and pharmaceuticals require separate review of packaging, temperature exposure, acceptance windows, and onward delivery conditions.
- Shipments moving from industrial or agricultural locations outside Vijayawada may be better served by a planned road feeder to a gateway with stronger international cargo connectivity.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: obtain the confirmed cargo acceptance and documentation cut-offs from the handling agent; published passenger schedules do not establish cargo cut-offs.
- Documentation: prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, export instructions, and any permits or certificates required for the commodity and destination.
- Special cargo: dangerous goods require compliant classification, declaration, packaging, marking, and carrier approval; temperature-controlled cargo requires a handling plan and validated packaging.
- Customs and delivery: customs examination, release, bonded transfer, and consignee collection are controlled by the applicable Indian authorities, broker, terminal, and carrier procedures.
Risk Controls
Our service team will not treat a booking as operationally confirmed until the carrier, handling point, cargo acceptance conditions, and document status are checked. Shippers should not deliver cargo to the airport solely on the basis of a provisional quotation.
Shipping Tips
- Send the complete commodity description, HS information where available, dimensions, gross weight, piece count, stackability, and ready date before requesting space.
- For export cargo, have the shipper and consignee names, tax or registration details, invoice value, origin, destination, and customs instructions aligned across all documents.
- Use robust, airline-suitable packaging with clear piece markings. For perishables or pharmaceuticals, state the required temperature range and maximum transfer exposure at quotation stage.
- Ask our service team to compare direct airport acceptance, road feeder movement, and an alternative gateway. This is particularly important when the shipment is urgent, oversized, sensitive, or subject to a fixed delivery deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vijayawada Airport handle international export cargo?
It may be used as the origin point for a planned international movement, but direct acceptance and international uplift depend on the active carrier, handling arrangement, customs process, and available capacity. Our team confirms the complete routing before acceptance.
Is a direct freighter available from Vijayawada Airport?
Dedicated freighter availability should not be assumed. We check current carrier capacity and, when necessary, arrange a domestic transfer or road feeder to a more suitable Indian gateway.
How early should cargo be delivered?
The applicable cut-off is set by the confirmed carrier and handling agent and can change by flight, cargo type, security requirement, or documentation status. Our team provides the delivery instruction after booking confirmation.
Can temperature-controlled or dangerous goods be shipped?
They may be accepted only when the carrier and handling chain approve the commodity, packaging, declaration, storage, and transfer plan. Submit the SDS, dangerous-goods details, or temperature requirements before space is requested.
What is the best alternative if capacity is unavailable?
Our service team compares a road feeder to a larger Indian gateway, an alternative airport-origin plan, or a different connection. The choice depends on cargo readiness, delivery deadline, customs status, and total door-to-door risk.
