The airport has been managed by PT. Angkasa Pura II since January 2007. It was originally named Pangkalpinang Airport built since the Japanese occupation of 1942 as a defense against Allied soldiers.

Since January 1, 2007, the airport was handed over to a state-owned company in charge of the management of several airports in western Indonesia, namely PT. Angkasa Pura II (Persero). For air space controlled by the Air Traffic Service Unit of Depati Amir Airport initially only serves the area around the airport up to 2,500 feet altitude.

It is one of the two main airports in Bangka Belitung province, the other being H.A.S. Hanandjoeddin International Airport in Belitung.

Future planning

In 1978, the foundation was moved to the west for about 75 meters, with a length of 1,200m. Then gradually continue to be extended 1,600m, 1,800m, 2,000m and now, the runway reached the length of 2,600m x 45m. This airport runway has been able to land aircraft type Boeing 737-800NG / 900ER, & Airbus A320, although in a limited capacity. The aircraft parking lot (apron) has also been overlaid several times (asphalt thickening). The airport apron has been able to accommodate 4 narrow-body aircraft at once, such as Boeing 737-800NG / 900ER, & Airbus A320.

Terminal

After multiple delays, a new airport terminal finally started operation on 11 January 2017. With an investment of about 300 billion rupiah, the construction of the terminal is able to increase the passenger capacity of 350 thousand passengers per year to more than 1.5 million passengers per year. The new terminal building stands on an area of 12 thousand square meters of total land area of about 152 hectares. Nevertheless, it currently only serves domestic flights.

Revitalization is done on the airport's landside which includes construction of a new terminal, improvement of terminal facilities, construction of a new apron, as well as construction of a larger and more spacious car parking area. Besides being larger, the new terminal also has a modern design and is equipped with additional amenities such as food courts, executive break room, internet facilities, disabled toilets, as well as a room mother and child.^[1] Other facilities include 12 check-in counters, 3 departure gates, and 2 jetbridges.
