Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport( IATA : PKU, ICAO : WIBB), is an international airport serving the city of Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. The airport is often referred to as SSK II, SSK or Sultan Syarif Qasim II International Airport (SSQ II), and was formerly known as Simpang Tiga Airport. The airport is named after Sultan Syarif Kasim II (1893–1968), the last sultan of Siak and an Indonesian National Hero. The airport serves flights to and from several cities and towns in Indonesia as well as international connections to Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
The airport area and runway is also shared with Roesmin Nurjadin Air Force Base, a Type A airbase of the TNI-AU (Indonesian Air Force). The airbase is named after the former Chief of the Indonesian Air Force, Cmdr. Roesmin Nurjadin. Starting in early December 2014, it served as the homebase of 16 F-16 squadron, [1] the additional squadron which is Skadron Udara 16, comprising a fleet of F-16 Blok 52RI and existing Skadron Udara 12 Black Panthers, comprising a fleet of Hawk Mk.109s and Mk.209s.
The colonial era Simpang Tiga airport was a disc-shaped landing field about a kilometer west of the current runway. At that time, the area was called the "cornerstone of the Air" where "The foundation of the Air" in which the foundation is still made up of the compacted and hardened soil and was used as a military base.[ clarification needed ] Originally the foundation was redone from the east to the west with the runway numbers 14 and 32. During the Japanese occupation, the airfield was home to a small squadron of airplanes from the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force, before being taken over by the Allies.
The airfield was a transit stop on KNILM's Batavia to Medan or Batavia to Singapore route. [2] After the independence of Indonesia, the newly created Garuda Indonesian Airways also served Pekanbaru from Jakarta via Padang or Palembang. [3]
In the early days of independence, the current runway was built adjacent to the old airfield. At first it was only 800 meters long numbered 18 and 36. In 1950, the runway was extended to 1,500 meters, and in 1967 the runway and aircraft parking ramp was paved with asphalt to a thickness of 7 cm and the length of the 500-meter runway. In early 2010, the first phase of the airport's expansion started with the construction of a new terminal to replace the original terminal built in the 1980s. The original terminal was demolished to make way for additional parking spaces. The new terminal is constructed in a modern design concept with three jetways and a larger apron.
On 16 July 2012, a Rp 2 trillion ($212 million) new terminal was opened to accommodate 1.5 million passengers a year and serve eight narrow-bodied jets equivalent to Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and wide body jets equivalent to two Boeing 747 jumbo jets [4] at the same time. The new terminal spans 17,000 square meters, and a more spacious aircraft apron can accommodate 10 wide-bodied aircraft, twice the capacity of the old apron. The new terminal is designed with a mix of Malay and modern architecture. The physical form of the building is inspired from the typical flying fauna form of Riau, Serindit birds. To meet the technical requirements of a world-class airport, the airport runway was extended from 2,200 meters to 2,600 meters and then to 3,000 meters [5] and runway width extension from 30 m to 45 m. Expansion of the airport is part of the infrastructure development in support of the 2012 Pekan Olahraga Nasional which was held in Pekanbaru. Despite the opening of the new terminal in 2012, two out of the three jet bridges didn’t commence operation until late July 2014. The airport now has four jet bridges.
The old terminal has been demolished to make way for a new apron. In addition, the new air traffic control tower (ATC) at Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport has been developed as to assist the operation of the new airport terminal.
The VIP lounge is located on the eastern side of the terminal of Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport. The VIP lounge is personified to cater to special guests such as presidents, governmental people, ambassadors and others. In 2012, the airport's VIP room was awarded as the best VIP Room by PT Angkasa Pura II.
The Lembayung Executive Lounge provides a cozy and comfortable area, specially designated for passengers who are waiting for flights. It can be accessed by passengers who have credit cards issued by several multinational banks in Indonesia who collaborate with the airport.
The current terminal was equipped with various facilities including an ATM center, post office, clinics, money changer, and others. Shopping outlets and retailers include a food court, grocery shops, souvenir stands and fashion stores (including Batik Keris, Keris Toys & Bookshop, Kondang Art & Craft, Polo Store). Restaurants include A&W Restaurant, Bakso Lapangan Tembak Senayan, CFC Restaurant, Starbucks Coffee, Excelso Coffee, KFC, Rotiboy, Roti O, Solaria Cafe, and the local coffee-shop franchise Kimteng Coffee.
SSK II airport development was begun in June 2013, and was expected to be completed in 2014. It was planned upon completion to have a 58,410 square meter apron which would accommodate up to 13 narrowbody aircraft equivalent to Boeing 737-900ER, but can also serve widebody jets equivalent to Airbus A330, Boeing 747, and Boeing 777 aircraft. [6] Some developments include the parallel runway. In addition to runway expansion, PT Angkasa Pura II will also develop the extension of the passenger terminal that can accommodate up to eight million passengers per year as well as the future development of seven jet bridges from the initial three bridges. Henceforth, this airport is initially planned to accommodate Haj embarkation, especially for Riau Province and particularly Pekanbaru. [7]
In 2012, the airport's VIP room was awarded as the best VIP Room by PT Angkasa Pura II. The Indonesia Ministry of Culture and Tourism awarded the airport The Cleanest Airport Toilet consecutively in 2012 and 2013. In 2013, the airport was once again awarded as The Best Airport by PT Angkasa Pura II at Bandara Award 2013, held by The Indonesia's Ministry of Culture and Tourism; it beat several prominent airports such as Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Minangkabau International Airport in Padang and many other airports that are managed under PT Angkasa Pura II.
