Development
editConstruction of the airport started on November 1, 2023, which is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024.[7] The terminal area of the airport is about 7,350 square meters with an airport area covering 347 hectares of land. The runway under construction measures 3,500 meters in length and 45 meters in width, allowing for the landing of large-bodied aircraft such as the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380.[8]
The airport apron is capable of accommodating three large-bodied aircraft and helipads for three helicopters; various other supporting facilities will provide comprehensive services for all types of flights.[9] The cost of the project is estimated at about Rp 4.3 trillion (US$261 million).[10]
