Jenderal Besar Soedirman Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Jenderal Besar Soedirman), also known as JB Soedirman Airport (IATA: PWL, ICAO: WAHP) is an airport located in Bukateja, Purbalingga, Indonesia.
The site used to be an Indonesian Airforce airfield, serving civil aviation since 2007.[1] The base was officially renamed in 2016 after General Sudirman, who is a National Hero of Indonesia.[2] The airport serves 6 regencies: Banyumas Regency, Purbalingga Regency, Banjarnegara Regency, Kebumen Regency, Wonosobo Regency and Pemalang Regency. Operation started on June 1, 2021 and the first commercial flight was on June 3.[3] The airport is operated by PT Angkasa Pura II.[4]
Facilities
[edit ]Around 850 meters of existing grass airstrip was extended with hard pavement for the development of the airport. The airport will have a total area of 115 hectares.[5] The runway extends 1,600 x 30 metres, aided by an apron of 69 x 103 metres, and a taxiway 15 metres in width, which was finished in early 2021. The airport can accommodate a twin-propeller aircraft such as ATR 72-600 models.[6] Since the planned permanent structure of the terminal building is still under construction, a 20 x 20 metre, high-grade pole tent was built to serve as temporary terminal, complete with air conditioning and plumbing.[7] [8]
