Minangkabau International Airport (IATA: PDG, ICAO: WIPT) is the principal airport serving the province of West Sumatra on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located about 23 km north-west of Padang, in Ketaping, Padang Pariaman regency. There is one terminal building for both international flights and domestic flights. The airport has 17 check-in counters, 5 baggage conveyors, and 9 ticket sales counters.^[3]

The land area of the airport is 4.27 km². It has one runway:

There is a plan to lengthen the runway by 250 m to be compatible with Boeing 747 planes, and also to connect the airport to the city of Padang with a train service.^[4]

The terminal expansion (Phase II) is already announced and the rendering is already released in Angkasa Pura 2 website. ^[5]

The airport became operational in July 2005, replacing the old Tabing airport in Padang. The airport is named after the Minangkabau ethnic group who inhabit the region.
