Nusantara Airport[1][2] (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Nusantara) is an under-construction airport that is expected to be operational in 2024.[3][4] The airport is 23 km from the 0 point of Nusantara and 120 km from Balikpapan.[5]
Development
[edit]Construction of the airport started on November 1, 2023.[6] The terminal area of the airport is about 7,350 square meters with an airport area covering 347 hectares of land. The runway under construction measures 3,500 meters in length and 45 meters in width, allowing for the landing of large-bodied aircraft such as the Boeing 777-3000ER and Airbus A380.[7]
The airport apron is capable of accommodating three large-bodied aircraft and helipads for three helicopters; various other supporting facilities will provide comprehensive services for all types of flights.[8] The cost of the project is estimated at about Rp 4.3 trillion (US$261 million).[9]
