Airport Development
A new three-storey terminal building was opened on November 10, 2006. The building has a capacity of eight million passengers per year and features a 51,500 m² domestic passenger terminal, a 20,200 m² international terminal and 11 airbridges. There is a single runway 3000mx55m, separate 5,300 m² administration building, including a 15 storey control tower, and a two storey cargo building with domestic and international cargo sections, capable of handling 120,000 tons of cargo a year.
The new apron with an area of 148,000 m² can handle 18 aircraft simultaneously, including two wide body, 11 medium and five small aircraft. There are two 3000x30m parallel taxiways, including five exit taxiways (30m wide) and four connecting taxiways (also 30m).
The previous terminal buildings are presently used by the Indonesian Air Force.

Famous quotes containing the words airport and/or development:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
