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:
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
