[1] The Banda Islands are a popular tourist destination for divers and snorkelers.

Most tourists come between February–May and September–December because that is when the weather is most suitable for snorkeling and diving.

When planes take off or land, the airport sounds a siren to warn local residents to clear off the runway.

[4] The largest aircraft that the runway can handle is a C-212.

[5] Local ground transport is available to and from the Banda airport either from private hire cars or motorcycle taxis called "ojek."
