The airport is located in the city of Bandung and is surrounded by mountains, thus the landing approach has unique characteristics. This airport runway can handle various aircraft now and in the past, Airbus A320 series, Boeing 737, certain types of Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 (200) series.[2] The combined two concourses of terminal, domestic and international, provides total capacity of 3.5 million passengers and area of 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2).[3]

According to the architect who was involved in Husein redevelopment and the early design of Kertajati in 2007, based on similar concept of his design on Beijing Capital International Airport & Daxing International Airport, the airport is now serving Star Alliance international flights and is one of two international airports serving Greater Bandung, the other being the Kertajati International Airport which is focused on Oneworld alliance & Skyteam flights.[4] It has been planned as a major destination for Garuda Indonesia as well as the hub for Lion Air, Citilink and Indonesia AirAsia.[5]

History

The Airport was built by Dutch settlers in the colonial period, in Andir village. The airport was named Andir Airfield. Husein Sastranegara Airport is named after an Indonesian aviation hero from West Java, Husein Sastranegara.

In late 2010, the number of flights (take-off and landing) from the airport reached a new high, of over 30 times a day and increasing rapidly.

The Bandung Air Show 2010 took place as a major event for the first time at the airport in September 2010, bringing international aviation audiences.

In 2012, Bandung Air Show took place again at the airport bringing even more international aviation audiences. It was again held in 2013 and 2015, and is now a biennial event.

Prior to 2016, the airport had an ideal capacity of only 750,000 passengers per year, therefore was running extremely over capacity, under-equipped and under-staffed. Currently the combined old and newly built section of terminal provides capacity of roughly 3.5 million passengers per year when all the 2015-2017 redevelopment are finished.[6][3]

Terminal and facilities

The airport terminal has two concourses which are used for domestic and international flights. The area of the terminal is 17,000 square metres (182,986 sq ft) and has three floors.

There are two executive lounges, Internet access, LED displays, a prayer room, coffee/tea shops, restaurants, bookstore, shopping arcades and ATMs.

On the north side of the runway, there are airport facilities owned by PT Dirgantara Indonesia. Moreover, the airport is also equipped with PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) and VOR (VHF omnidirectional range), devices that help planes to land at night and other navigation tools.

Since 1 February 2009, international-flight passengers are required to pay an airport tax of IDR 75,000, while domestic flight passengers are required pay an airport tax of IDR 25,000.[7]

PT Angkasa Pura II, as the airport operator, had targeted at mid-year 2010, for the airport runway to be thickened from Pavement Classification Number (PCN) 37 cm to PCN 52 cm, to accommodate larger narrowbody aircraft, such as Airbus A320, Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737, Boeing 737 MAX, and Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen[8] As of April 2011, the 2,250-metre-long (7,380 ft) runway overlay was less than 50-percent complete, although an Airbus A320 has landed.[9]

Notes
    gollark: You need parens to partially apply operators, though, which is necessary to write pointless code mostly.
    gollark: A function transforming Either a VulkanException or some `a` into `r` (which I assume is the `r`esult).
    gollark: That's IO. *True* Haskellers would never touch such an evil concept.
    gollark: And *has to*!
    gollark: Amazingly enough, lots of code *has side effects*!
