Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport is a near sea-level field at 47 ft (14 m), positioned at 5.0755° S, 119.5537° E in the Southern deep tropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 10,171 ft / 3,100 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Makassar (WITA, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Maros is the closest retained city-time anchor at 8.0 km. DIL Dili is the closest retained airport alternative at 764 km.
UPG is compared with SUB Surabaya at 791 km, SOC Surakarta at 1009 km, SRG Semarang at 1037 km, YIA Yogyakarta at 1095 km, HLP Jakarta at 1407 km inside the retained Indonesia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
UPG-DIL Dili: 764 km, about 1h 48m, +1h. UPG-SUB Surabaya: 791 km, about 1h 50m, -1h. UPG-SOC Surakarta: 1009 km, about 2h 7m, -1h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

Angkasa Pura is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for UPG.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at hasanuddin-airport.co.id, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
UPG uses Asia/Makassar (WITA, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport is about 16 km from central Makassar; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
DIL Dili is the closest retained alternate at 764 km, time difference +1h.
hasanuddin-airport.co.id is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place UPG inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
UPG ranks #7 in the curated Indonesia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 8 airports.
UPG has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Asia/Makassar a more distinctive signal for this page.
UPG is 47 ft (14 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include KOA 47 ft (14 m) (0 ft delta) · CHS 46 ft (14 m) (1 ft delta) · HOU 46 ft (14 m) (1 ft delta) · JED 48 ft (15 m) (1 ft delta) · SNN 46 ft (14 m) (1 ft delta).
