Blimbingsari Airport (Indonesian: Bandara Blimbingsari ) (ICAO: WARB), is a small airport near Banyuwangi, a city in the East Java province of Indonesia. The airport was opened for operations in December 2010. Originally the runway was only 1,400 meters in length and could only accommodate small propeller-driven aircraft such as the Cessna 208, but in 2012 it was extended to 1,800 meters to allow large turboprop airliners such as the Fokker 50 and ATR 72 to operate from the airport. In 2012 it served approximately 25,000 passengers, but this number is expected to grow.
It is planned to extend the runway another 400 meters to allow jetliners such as the Airbus A320 and Bombardier CRJ to operate flights directly from the capital Jakarta. The expansion plan also calls for a new 3,500 square meter passenger terminal building and a larger apron.[2]
