About Minangkabau International Airport
Minangkabau International Airport is an airport serving the province of West Sumatra on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located in Ketaping, Padang Pariaman Regency which is about 23 km (14 mi) northwest of Padang city center. The airport commenced operations in July 2005 and took over the role previously held by Tabing Airport in Padang, which now serves exclusively as a military airbase for the Indonesian Air Force. The former airport could not be expanded due to limited land availability and had become increasingly congested as passenger numbers grew, leading to the decision to construct a new facility. The airport is named after the Minangkabau ethnic group, the indigenous population of the region. It functions as the main gateway to Padang and West Sumatra, with domestic connections to major cities in western Indonesia such as Jakarta, Pekanbaru, and Medan, as well as international flights to Malaysia and Singapore.
