Sam Ratulangi International Airport

Construction began in 1998 on a new terminal with funds from the Asian Development Bank and Government of Indonesia. It cost US$ 7,6 million to develop the terminal's air side section and US$ 13 million to build its land side section. In 2001, the new terminal opened featuring 21 check-in counters, 5 gates, 4 airbridges, 2 baggage claim belts and an outdoor waving gallery on top of the 3-story terminal building. Its 4,044 m2 international passenger terminal may serve up to 183,000 passengers annually while the 14,126 m2 domestic passenger terminal serves up to 1,3 million passengers/year. During peak hours the terminal may serve up to 2,816 passengers simultaneously. The 2650 m x 45 m runway and 2650 m x 23 m parallel taxiway are designed to accommodate Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 wide body aircraft. The 54,300 m2 apron can hold up to 4 wide body aircraft and 11 medium and small body aircraft. It is currently the hub of Lion Air/Wings Air for the northeastern part of Indonesia and is one of the focus cities of Garuda Indonesia.
The passenger terminal is equipped with a bank, automated teller machines, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, a VIP Lounge, duty free shopping, newsagent/tobacconist, gift shops, travel agents, car rental, taxi service/rank, First Aid service, a baby/parent room, 8,074 m2 of parking space, an escalator, and an elevator for the disabled.

A minor upgrade had been done prior to the World Ocean Conference and Coral Triangle Initiative Summit on May 2009. It was done in the area of the apron, international boarding lounge, CIP room and car parking lot. The apron currently has an area of 71,992 m2 while the parking lot is available for 500 cars. Waiting lounge and gate for international departure and arrival are being expanded together with an additional aerobridge installation. With this upgrade, the terminal may serve up to 2 million passenger annually. Its 45 meters-wide runway has been lengthened from 2,650m to 3,850m, accommodating wide-body planes such as Boeing 747, Airbus A340, A380.
