Palembang is still the gateway to the province,
and together with Pangkal Pinang on the island of Bangka and
Tanjung Pandan on Bilitung, provides the region with three
major airports. All three cities have direct connections with
Medan, Batam, Padang and Jakarta and the future will see the
introduction of flights to Singapore. Air-conditioned busesfrom
points north and west of Palembang are also regulary available,
as well as from major cities in Java and Bali.
