On 2 April 2024, the Ministry of Transportation revoked the international status of the airport.[3]
History
The airport was originally built in the 1940s and was at first named Sei Durian Airport. After obtaining an agreement with the Pontianak Sultanate, land was given to the Dutch colonial government to build an airfield. The Dutch government began to carry out research around the Sei Durian area to decide where to build the airstrip. Finally, the Dutch decided to build the airstrips in Sei Durian due to the consideration of strategic factors of defense. At that time, the Dutch government was involved in World War II against the Empire of Japan.
Unfortunately, before the construction of the airstrip started, the Dutch colonial administration capitulated to the Japanese Government. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese military government decided to proceed with building the airstrip, considering its strategic importance. The Japanese stationed several of its military airplanes in Sei Durian over the course of the war. After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the airstrip was briefly retaken by the Dutch colonial government, before finally taken over by the new Indonesian government. Over the course of the year, the Indonesian government developed the airport, resulting in its present state.
At the height of the
In the 1980s, the airport was renamed Supadio Airport. In the 1970s, the first international flight to Kuching in neighbouring Sarawak started, operated by Merpati Nusantara Airlines. In the 1980s, flights to Singapore started, operated by Garuda Indonesia and Merpati Nusantara Airlines. In late-October 1989, Malaysia Airlines also started flight to Pontianak from Kuching. All of these international flights discontinued in 1998 due to the Asian Financial Crisis but the routes to Kuching however has been resumed in mid-1999, operated by 3 different airlines consecutively namely Batavia Air, Kalstar and Xpress Air which suspended services shortly after Wings Air operated the route. Between early to mid 2010s, there were also short-lived flights to Singapore (operated by Batavia Air) and Johor Bahru (by Xpress Air). Flights to Kuala Lumpur also commenced in late-March 2015, operated by AirAsia, but these flights were terminated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Expansion
In 2020, the runway was extended to 2,600 meters. Previously, the 2010–2011 runway has been widened from 30 meters to 45 meters.[4] The new terminal adopts eco-airport and green building concepts and is able to serve three million passengers annually.
The new terminal was built in two phases. Phase I involves building a temporary terminal with an area of 13,000 m2 (140,000 sq ft) and could accommodate over 1.5 million people over a year. Phase 1 was completed in June 2015.
Phase 2 involved demolishing of the existing terminal building and building a new terminal building as an extension of the building in phase I. In total, the new Supadio Airport terminal has an area of 32,000 m2 (340,000 sq ft) and can accommodate 3 million passengers annually.[5]
A new parallel path that will connect the 3 new jetbridges being built to increase the capacity of the current terminal building. The new sideways will be completed by 2023.
