Lede Kalumbang Airport (IATA: TMC, ICAO: WATK), formerly Tambolaka Airport, is a domestic airport serving the town of Tambolaka, the capital of Southwest Sumba Regency in Sumba Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The airport is named after Leonardus Lede Kalumbang, the first regent of West Sumba Regency, the administrative area where the airport was located before the establishment of Southwest Sumba Regency in 2007. Located about 5 km (3.1 mi) from the town center, it is one of only two airports on the island of Sumba—the other being Umbu Mehang Kunda Airport in Waingapu—and serves as the main gateway to western Sumba. The airport is currently connected with several major cities such as Denpasar, Kupang and Surabaya.
