Lombok International Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Internasional Lombok) (IATA: LOP, ICAO: WADL) is a new airport on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. It is the island's only fully operational airport.
It replaced Selaparang Airport (IATA: AMI, ICAO: WADA), the island's previous sole operational airport, in Ampenan on the west coast of Lombok near the capital of Mataram.
The new facility was officially inaugurated by the president of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on 20 October 2011. The airport can accommodate widebody high capacity Airbus A330 and Boeing 767 airliners, as well as smaller aircraft such as Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft already serving Lombok. The first arriving aircraft was a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-800NG marking the commencement of operations on 1 October 2011.
During the 'Indonesia Infrastructure Summit' in early 2005, airport infrastructure improvement projects including the new Lombok International Airport were presented to an international audience:
The Indonesian government is actively promoting Lombok and neighboring Sumbawa as Indonesia's number two tourism destination after Bali. The president of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Ministry of Cultural and Tourism, and the regional governor have made public statements supporting the development of Lombok as a tourism destination and setting a goal of 1 million visitors annually by the year 2012 for the combined destination of Lombok and Sumbawa. This has seen infrastructure improvements to the island including road upgrades and the construction of a much delayed new international airport in the islands south.
