About Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport
Overview
Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport serves the major city of Balikpapan in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. As a large international airport situated at a low elevation of 12 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and international air transportation. The airport's primary runway 07/25 offers a substantial 8,202 ft asphalt surface for diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Located near the equator at coordinates -1.268342, 116.894520, the airport experiences consistent tropical maritime weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate high humidity and potential convective activity typical of Indonesian coastal regions. The low elevation and geographical position suggest minimal altitude-related performance considerations for most aircraft.
Notable Features
Balikpapan's coastal location means pilots should be prepared for potential maritime weather influences, including sea breezes and rapid visibility changes. The airport's substantial runway length accommodates wide-body aircraft and provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational scenarios. The asphalt runway surface indicates standard ground handling characteristics.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway oriented 07/25, wind direction will significantly influence approach and departure procedures. Pilots should be prepared to utilize the full 8,202 ft runway length, which provides ample space for most commercial and cargo aircraft. Standard instrument approach procedures will be influenced by the airport's low coastal elevation and surrounding terrain characteristics.
