Adisutjipto Airport or Adisucipto Airport (IATA: JOG, ICAO: WAHH) is a minor domestic airport serving the Yogyakarta area on the island of Java, Indonesia. It was formerly the principal international airport serving this area. The airport is located in the Sleman Regency, in the Yogyakarta Special Region, on the northeast outskirts of the city, near the Prambanan historic temple site. The airport is approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the city centre.
Adisutjipto Airport was once the fourth busiest airport in the region of Java–Bali, after Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Jakarta, Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya, and I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali. It has one runway, with dimensions of 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) by 45 metres (148 ft). The number of passengers flying through Adisucipto International Airport in Yogyakarta, throughout 2016 increased by approximately 13 percent compared to 2015. 7.2 million passengers were recorded in 2016 whereas in 2015, the number was 6.38 million. All jet-powered flights were relocated to the new international airport on 29 March 2020.
History
[edit]
Adisutjipto Airport was preceded by a landing ground at Maguwo, which was used before and during the Second World War. The air base was also attacked as part of the Indonesian National Revolution in the Battle of Maguwo air base in October 1945. current airport is named after Agustinus Adisucipto, a pilot who was killed during an attack on Maguwo by the Dutch on 29 July 1947, when his flight, the Dakota VT-CLA, was shot down. Based on the decision of the head of the Air Force Staff No. 76 of 1952 on 17 August 1952, the name of Maguwo Airbase was changed to Adisutjipto Airbase.
Since 1959, Adisutjipto Airport was made for the Republic of Indonesia Air Force Academy (AAU). In 1964, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, with its decision and with the approval of the Indonesian Air Force, AdiSutjipto Jogjakarta Airport became a combined civil and military airport. In 1972, the first expansion of the civil air terminal was carried out. Then in 1977, the terminal was expanded again because of the increasing volume of flights. On 1 April 1992, by Government Regulation No. 48 of 1992, Adisutjipto Airport was officially entered into the management of Angkasa Pura I Corporation. On 2 January 1993, its status was changed to PT (PERSERO) Angkasa Pura I.
The airport was heavily damaged by the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake and had to be closed for two days. Some parts of the runway were cracked, and the departure lounge collapsed. Most flights were canceled or rerouted to Adisumarmo International Airport, Solo. After the airport returned to service on 30 May 2006, all passengers used the international lounge until the new domestic departure lounge was ready. During this period, passenger comfort was affected as the international lounge was designed only for about 100 passengers at a time. The airport was closed for several days due to the 2010 Mount Merapi eruption, flights were diverted to Adisumarmo International Airport in Solo, Jenderal Ahmad Yani International Airport in Semarang, or transferred to another mode of transportation in Yogyakarta.
International routes
[edit]
Adisutjipto became an international airport on 21 February 2004, with the first flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, operated by the Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia. This was the successful conclusion to the city's efforts of over 30 years to have an international airport. International routes were moved to the new Yogyakarta International Airport in 2020. In April 2024, the Department of Transportation revoked the ability of Adisutjipto airport to serve international flights.[1]
Development
[edit]
Adisucipto has been redeveloped to cope with the increasing number of passengers. The location of this airport is unusual since the passenger terminal is only about 10 metres from a railway line. A long-range plan has been developed to build Adisucipto as a 'fused terminal', by building a railway station and bus terminal in the airport. There is still a problem of limited availability of land. An underpass connecting the terminal building and a new car park (to the north of the railway) has been completed. The construction of the new Maguwo Station to the north of the airport has also been completed. In August 2015, a new Terminal B was opened. Currently, the airport has a secondary taxiway besides having a primary taxiway to the south of the apron. This taxiway is to the east of the apron and is used to connect the apron to the eastern (or Runway 27) end of the runway. Previously, aircraft had to backtrack down the runway which caused a bottleneck and reduced the number of operations at the airport per hour.
New airport
[edit]The limited availability of land around the airport, and over-capacity caused the government to plan to relocate the airport to Temon in Kulon Progo Regency.[2] PT Angkasa Pura I and the Yogyakarta provincial government built the new airport in Kulonprogo (including the airport city). It was built as a joint venture between PT Angkasa Pura I and the Indian GVK Group with 51 and 49 percent of shares, respectively.[3] The new airport can accommodate up to 30 million passengers per year and was opened in 2020.
As of 29 March 2020, Adisutjipto will only serve limited commercial, military, and private aviation.
