Samarinda's modern international gateway in East Kalimantan.

Opened
2018
Location
Samarinda, Indonesia
Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (IATA: AAP, ICAO: WALS) serves Samarinda, the provincial capital of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The airport replaced the older Temindung Airport, which was limited by its short runway and urban surroundings, as the primary commercial aviation facility for the city. The airport is named after Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto, a historical figure of the Kutai Kartanegara Sultanate. It was developed to support growing aviation demand in the region, particularly given East Kalimantan's significance as a major center for Indonesia's coal and palm oil industries. Samarinda is located near Balikpapan, which is served by the larger Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport. APT Pranoto Airport nonetheless plays an important role in connecting Samarinda directly to domestic destinations across Indonesia.
