Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport
North Samarinda, Indonesia
Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto Airport (IATA: AAP, ICAO: WALS), also known as APT Pranoto Airport or Samarinda Airport, is an international airport in the subdistrict of Sungai Siring in northern Samarinda. The airport is also colloquially known as Sungai Siring Airport, to distinguish it from its predecessor, the now-closed Temindung Airport. The airport is named after Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto (1906–1976), the first governor of East Kalimantan who was in office from 1957 to 1961. The airport is operated by UPBU APT Pranoto Samarinda, under the Ministry of Transportation. In 2022, the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation planned to partially sell the airport stake to foreign corporation and Astra Infra. In 2019, Samarinda Airport handled 1.1 million passengers and according to Indonesian government, the airport will reach its maximum terminal capacity (1.5 million passengers) if no extra terminal is added. About 68 percent of its flights are operated with narrow-body jets. In the first half of 2021, the airport achieved the third fastest passenger rebound in East Borneo, recording a 1.22% increase year-on-year, ahead of Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport (fourth place). The figure still remains below the pre-pandemic (2019) levels. However the airport passenger market share actually increased by over 2% (23%) during the first half of 2021, compared to 2020
