Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport
main airport in Samarinda, Indonesia
Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto Airport (IATA: AAP, ICAO: WALS), also known as APT Pranoto Airport or Samarinda Airport, is an international airport in the subdistrict of Sungai Siring in northern Samarinda. The airport is also colloquially known as Sungai Siring Airport, to distinguish it from its predecessor, the now-closed Temindung Airport. The airport is named after Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto (1906–1976), the first governor of East Kalimantan who was in office from 1957 to 1961.
The airport is operated by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), under the Ministry of Transportation. In 2022, the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation planned to partially sell the airport stake to foreign corporation and Astra Infra.
In 2019, Samarinda Airport handled 1.1 million passengers and according to Indonesian government, the airport will reach its maximum terminal capacity (1.5 million passengers) if no extra terminal is added. About 68 percent of its flights are operated with narrow-body jets.
In the first half of 2021, the airport achieved the third fastest passenger rebound in East Borneo, recording a 1.22% increase year-on-year, ahead of Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport (fourth place). The figure still remains below the pre-pandemic (2019) levels. However the airport passenger market share actually increased by over 2% (23%) during the first half of 2021, compared to 2020 levels (East Kalimantan).

Why this record matters
“Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pangeran, Tumenggung and Pranoto provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1927133. Authority coordinates are -0.376, 117.254. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1906, 1976, 1957 and 1961.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
