Muara Bungo Airport( IATA : BUU, ICAO : WIJB) is an airport in Muara Bungo, Jambi, Indonesia. The airport started operating on November 25, 2012. [1] [2]
Until October 2014 only Aviastar used the airport three times a week due to the runway being only 1,350 meters long. Runway extension is still ongoing; it was predicted to be 1,500 meters at the end of 2014 and expected to reach its final 2,000 meters at the end of 2015. [3]
Around 2016, runway extension for Muara Bungo Airport was finished. On July 3, 2016, Sriwijaya Air inaugurated four weekly flight from Jakarta to Muara Bungo using Boeing 737-500 aircraft. Sriwijaya Air later transferred this route to NAM Air and increased the frequency to daily flights.
