Husein Sastranegara International Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Internasional Husein Sastranegara) (IATA: BDO, ICAO: WICC)[1] is an airport in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. This fast-growing international airport is located c. 5 km north-west from the city centre and 2.4 km from Bandung Central train station. The site occupies an area of 145 hectares (358 acres) and serves the area of civil aviation in the south western region of Java.

The airport is located in the city of Bandung and is surrounded by mountains, thus the landing approach has unique characteristics. This airport handles various aircraft, mostly the Airbus A320, and Boeing 737 series. [2] In 2016, the combined old and newly built section of terminal provides total capacity of 3.4 million passengers and area of 170,000 sqft. [3]

The airport will be one of two international airports serving Greater Bandung, the other one being the upcoming Bandung Majalengka International Airport, and has been planned as a major destination for Garuda Indonesia as well as the hub for Lion Air and Indonesia AirAsia.[4]

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 is again held in 2013, 2015 and it's a biennial event.

In 2016, the combined old and newly built section of terminal provides total capacity of 3.4 million passengers and area of 170,000 sqft, while previous capacity is only 750,000 passengers with 5,000 sqm.[5]

The site has one airport terminal that is used for domestic and international flights. The area of the terminal is 2,411.85 square metres (25,961 sq ft) and has three floors. Terminal B (for all international flights) is being developed. Currently the airport can handle a maximum of 1 million passengers per year, and projected about 3 million passengers per year when terminal B is finished.[6] Passengers can also enjoy facilities of two executive lounges, Internet access, TV, a musholla prayer room, restaurants, shops and ATMs.

On the north side of the runway, there is a hangar 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, the 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 and Boeing 737[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.[9]
