What is The International Airport in Indonesia?

Airport is an abbreviation of Airport, in English is Airport, is a place for airplanes, airplanes, helicopters, and so on to be able to take off and land. The simplest airports must at least have a runway or helipad, while large airports are usually equipped with various other facilities, both for flight service operators and for their users such as terminal buildings and hangars, and some also have train stations.

Airport can also be interpreted as a certain area located on land or in waters that can be used for the arrival, departure and movement of aircraft. This area can be used in its entirety or only part of it. Facilities include buildings, installations and aviation equipment.

The airport is also an airfield, including all buildings and equipment which are the minimum equipment to ensure the availability of facilities for air transportation for the public.

An airport can also be defined as an area on land and/or waters with certain boundaries that is used as a place for aircraft to land and take off, take off passengers, load and unload goods, and place their transfer inter- and between other forms of transportation, which is equipped with with safety and security facilities in flight, both with basic facilities and with other supporting facilities.

The airport in the early days of aviation was just a grassy field where planes could land from any direction depending on the wind direction.

Airports during the World War, have begun to be built permanently as the use of airplanes increases and runways are starting to look like they are now. After the end of the war, the airport began to be added with other commercial facilities to be able to serve passengers more optimally.

Airports today are not just a place to get on and off planes. Over time, the airport is now equipped with various other additional facilities such as restaurants, food and beverage outlets, shops, fitness centers, and boutiques with well-known brands. Changes and additions to these kinds of facilities usually exist at new airports.

Airports have other uses besides being a human/passenger traffic terminal as well as a goods traffic terminal. For this reason, at a number of airports with international airport status, customs officers are stationed.

The airport has 2 (two) facilities, namely: facilities on the Air Side and facilities on the Land Side. Here's a brief explanation:

A. Facilities on the Air Side consist of:
a. Runway
Run Way or what is commonly referred to as a runway is a runway that is absolutely required by aircraft. The length of the runway usually depends on the size of the aircraft being served. For pioneer airports that serve small aircraft, the runway is sufficient for grass or hardened soil (stabilization). The length of the pioneer runway is generally only around 1,200 m and with a width of 20 m. This type of runway is usually only used to serve Twin Otter, Cessna, and others, as well as small aircraft that have or have two propellers (in general, runways are only sufficient with sizes ranging from 600-800 m). Whereas for airports that are a bit crowded, the runway must use a construction made of solid black asphalt, and with a length of about 1,800 m and a width of 30 m. Aircraft that use this runway are Turbo-Prop or Jet types of aircraft with a small size, for example: Fokker-27, Tetuko 234, Fokker-28, and others. At busy airports, the construction is generally made of concrete, and is about 3,600 m long and about 45-60 m wide. The aircraft served on this runway are medium-sized jets, for example: Fokker-100, DC-10, B-747, Hercules, and others. International airports have more than one runway, which is useful in anticipation of hectic air traffic.

b. Aprons
Apron or what is commonly called an aircraft parking lot which is usually located close to the Terminal Building. Apron construction is generally made of reinforced concrete, because it carries a large static load from the weight of the aircraft when parked.

c. Taxi Way
Taxi Way is the link between Apron and Run Way. The number or size of the Taxi Way also depends on the size of the planes landing at the airport

d. Air Traffic Controllers
Air Traffic Controllers are appropriate for security and air traffic control. The place is in the form of a special monitoring tower equipped with radio control and radar.

e. Air Rescue Service
Air Rescue Seevice is a kind of airport security to deal with accidents, in the form of accident management units (Air Rescue Service) such as Rescue and Fire Troops, Fire Cars, Fire Extinguishers, Ambulances, and other Aid Equipment.

f. Fuel Service
Fuel Service is useful as Avtur Fuel Filler, namely aircraft fuel.

B. Facilities on the Land Side include:
a. Airport terminals
Airport Terminal or also known as Concourse. Concourse is the center of affairs regarding arriving and or departing passengers. Inside there is a Baggage Scanner in the form of X-Ray, Counter Check-In, (CIQ, Custom - Inmigration - Quarantine) for international airports, and a Waiting Room (Boarding Lounge) as well as various facilities for the convenience of passengers. At large airports, passengers enter and leave the plane via Garbarata or Avio Bridge, while at small airports, passengers get on and off the plane via movable stairs (Pax Step).

b. Curb
Curb is a kind of place for passengers to get on and off from land vehicles into the terminal building

c. Vehicle Parking
Vehicle Parking is a place for parking passengers and delivering/picking up passengers, including taxis

d. Train Station (Part of Airport)
The train station is a place for transferring (trans) passengers between terminals at airports at major airports.

Airports also have IATA and ICAO naming and codes that are different from each other. The code can be taken from various names such as the name of the airport, the name of the area where the airport is located, or the name of the city served. These codes may be different from the current name because previously the airport had a different name (it already had a previous name).
