Sam Ratulangi International Airport (IATA: MDC, ICAO: WAMM), also known as Manado International Airport, is located in North Sulawesi, 17 km northeast of Manado.

[edit] Accidents and Incidents
- Feb 16, 1967 - Garuda Indonesia 708, UPG-MDC, Lockheed L-188 (PK-GLB), 22 out of 92 crew and passengers were killed. Flight 708 departed Jakarta at 00:30 GMT (February 15) for a flight to Manado via Surabaya and Makassar. On the second leg of the flight bad weather at Makassar forced the crew to return to Surabaya. The flight continued the next day to Makassar and on to Manado. Weather at Manado was cloud base at 900 feet and 2km visibility. An approach to runway 18 was made, but after passing a hill 200 feet above runway elevation and 2720 feet short of the threshold, the pilot realised he was too high and left of the centreline. The nose was lowered and the aircraft banked right to intercept the glide path. The speed decreased below the 125 knots target threshold speed and the aircraft, still banked to the right, landed heavily 156 feet short of the runway threshold. The undercarriage collapsed and the aircraft skidded and caught fire.
- Jan 7, 1976 - Mandala Airlines, Vickers Viscount (PK-RVK), Fatalities none. Landing in intermittent slight rain, the aircraft touched down 520m down the runway. The aircraft overran, crossed a ditch and 3 drains before coming to rest 180m past the end of the runway.
- Dec 10, 1982 - Bouraq Indonesia Airlines, HS-748 (PK-IHI), Fatalities none. The nose landing gear collapsed on landing, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway.
- Oct 3, 1986 - East Indonesia Air Taxi, MAL-MDC, Shorts Skyvan (PK-ESC), 13 out of 13 crew and passengers were killed. Struck a mountain.
- May 9, 1991 - Merpati Nusantara Airlines 7533, TTE-MDC, Fokker F27(PK-MFD), 13 out of 13 crew and passengers were killed. Merpati flight 7533 (Ambon-Ternate-Manado) departed Ternate at 01:53 for a 50-minute flight to Manado. On approach to Manado, the aircraft crashed into a cloud-shrouded mountain in bad visibility and heavy rainfall.
- Jan 1, 2007 - Adam Air 574, SUB-MDC, Boeing 737-400 (PK-KKW), 102 out of 102 crew and passengers were still missing. The Adam Air flight went missing during a domestic flight to Manado. Last contact was at 14:07 when the flight was en route at FL350. Initial reports indicate that the flight changed course twice as a result of severe (130 km/h) crosswind. The airplane crashed into the sea. On January 11, part of a jetliner's tail, food trays and other debris was pulled from the sea. On January 25, a U.S. navy ship detected signals coming from the flight recorder, at a depth of over 1000 m.
