Adisucipto Airport was preceded by a landing ground at Maguwo which was used prior to and during the Second World War. It is named after Agustinus Adisucipto, a pilot who was killed during an attack on Maguwo by the Dutch on 29 July 1947, while flying a Dakota VT-CLA for the Indonesian Air Force.
The airport was heavily damaged by the 27th May 2006 earthquake and had to be closed for two days. Some parts of the runway were cracked, and the departure lounge collapsed. During those two days, most flights were canceled or rerouted to Adisumarmo International Airport, Solo. After the airport returned to service on 30 May 2006, all passengers used the international lounge until the new domestic departure lounge was ready. During this period, passenger comfort was affected as the airport as the international lounge was designed only for about 100 passengers at a time.
The airport was closed for several days due to the 2010 Mount Merapi eruption as the volcanic ash erupted by the volcano could endanger the safety of flights flying to or from the airport. During this period, passengers were diverted to Adisumarmo Airport in Solo, Achmad Yani International Airport in Semarang, or transferred to another mode of transportation to the city of Yogyakarta.
Before Adisucipto became an international airport, Yogyakarta depended on Bali and Jakarta for its international flights. The airport became an international airport on 21 February 2004 with the first flight, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, operated by the Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia. This was the successful conclusion to the city's efforts of over 30 years to have its own international airport. One month later, Garuda Indonesia operated its second international flight, to Singapore. Due to low demand, Garuda Indonesia ceased international flights from the airport on November 2006.
International flights resumed on 30 January 2008 when AirAsia began to fly the Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur route using Airbus 320 aircraft. From 1 February 2008, Malaysia Airlines started to serve the Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur route operating Boeing 737-400 aircraft.
In April 2008 AirAsia raised the frequency of its Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur flights from four times weekly to daily.[1] In December 2008, Garuda Indonesia resumed its Yogyakarta—Singapore flight, operating three times weekly, but ceased in 2009. AirAsia started to fly a Yogyakarta—Singapore flight on 24 March 2009, operating daily.
Adisucipto is being redeveloped in order to cope with the increasing number of passengers. The location of this airport is unusual since the terminal is only about 10 meters from a railway line. A long range plan has been developed to build Adisucipto as a "fused terminal" by building a railway station and bus terminal in the airport. There is still a problem over limited availability of land. An underpass connecting the terminal building and a new parking lot (to the north of the railway) has been completed. The construction of the new Maguwo Station to the north of the airport has also been completed.
There are plans to lengthen the runway by 300 metres (980 ft) to the east. The runway will then be 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) in length. Plans also call for a new taxiway, widening of the apron so that it will be able to handle 11 Boeing 737-400s and 2 Boeing 767-300ERs, and expansion of the terminal.
The limited availability of land around the airport triggered the government to plan on building a civilian airport in Kulon Progo, around 30 km from the city of Yogyakarta. The new airport will be named Nyi Ageng Serang International Airport and it is forecasted to become operational in 2014. The old Adisucipto airport will be used as solely air force base after the new airport is open.[2]
