Ambon (AMQ) → Saumlaki (SXK)
A reference for the Pattimura Airport, Ambon to Saumlaki/Olilit Airport route. You'll find the operators on file, the great-circle geometry, the connecting options if no nonstop fits your dates, and a short profile of each endpoint airport.
The flight from Ambon (AMQ) to Saumlaki (SXK) covers a great-circle distance of roughly 594 km (369 miles). Aircraft leave Pattimura Airport, Ambon on an initial southeast heading. As domestic sectors go, this one sits in the medium-haul bracket: long enough that most carriers run it as its own dedicated rotation, but short enough to fit inside a single crew duty period.
The OpenFlights schedule has no direct operators on file for the AMQ to SXK direction right now. People heading this way usually connect through a major hub on one side or the other. The connecting-hub list further down shows the airports that already appear on both ends of the network, which makes them the natural interline points.
A medium-haul sector of this length is an operational sweet spot. Block time lands near 1h 26m, well inside a single crew duty for most carriers, and modern narrow-bodies (A320neo, 737 MAX, A321) can fly it without payload restrictions. Premium-cabin product on this kind of sector is usually a recliner seat rather than a fully flat bed.
No obvious one-stop hubs appear on both ends of the network for this pair. Usually that means either the destination is a small spoke airport, or the only realistic itineraries route through a global super-hub well outside the region. The sections below point to the strongest candidates on each side.
Both endpoints sit inside Indonesia, so this is a domestic sector subject to local rules on baggage, identification, and security. Domestic flying often gets different tax treatment than international itineraries, so when you compare fares look at the all-in price (with domestic departure taxes included) rather than the base fare alone. See the Indonesia routes index for other domestic pairs.
On the day of operation, the AMQ to SXK direction lifts off heading southeast, then the great-circle track curves to compensate for the Earth's rotation. The return SXK to AMQ sector heads northwest out of the gate, with 0 operators on file for the inbound side. Combine the two operator lists for a full picture of the city pair's competitive landscape.

Reading this route page
The operator list reflects scheduled-route filings in the OpenFlights dataset, not real-time availability. A carrier appearing here publishes a scheduled service on this sector. It isn't a live timetable, and the actual flight numbers, frequencies, and aircraft types shift season to season. For booking and current schedules, cross-reference the airline page above with the carrier's own website.
Distance here is the great-circle arc between the two airports' published coordinates. Real flight tracks wander off that line because of wind, ATC routings, oceanic crossings, and political airspace constraints. Block time is an estimate covering ground taxi, climb, cruise at typical jet speeds, and descent. Real block times shift with aircraft type, weather, and traffic, so treat the stat-strip number as a planning indicator rather than a published flight time.
