Depati Amir Airport (IATA: PGK, ICAO: WIPK), also known as Pangkalpinang Airport, is a domestic airport serving Pangkalpinang, the capital and largest city of Bangka-Belitung Islands province, Indonesia. It is the only airport on Bangka Island and one of two airports in the Bangka-Belitung province, the other being H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin Airport in Belitung. While the airport serves Pangkalpinang, it is not located within the city limits but rather in Central Bangka Regency, approximately 5 km (3.1 miles) from the city center. The airport is named after Depati Amir, a Bangka aristocrat and national hero of Indonesia. Serving as the primary gateway to Pangkalpinang and the island of Bangka, the airport offers connections to several major cities across Indonesia, including Jakarta, Batam, Palembang, and Yogyakarta.
