Air side development at OesmanSadik airport, South Halmahera district

Abstract

OesmanSadik Airport, South Halmahera District requires an air transportation that can serve passengers, by overcoming the limitations of transport capacity, the length of the runway and the limited flight routes that operate today. Through the air side analysis of OesmanSadik Airport and the use of alternative aircraft, it is expected to give a little consideration for the development plan of OesmanSadik Airport in an effort to anticipate future developments. This is to ensure that it can serve the needs of safe airport services, comfortable, economical, and can meet the needs of the community. This study evaluate the runway dimension, which is in accordance with the planned aircraft's needs which is for short and long-term service with the largest aircraft ATR-72 Series 500 and for long-term service with Boeing 737 Series 500 aircraft using the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) method. From the results of this analysis, 3 aircraft types ATR-42, Cassa 212 and Dornier 328 with flight schedules 6 times a week are not expected to be able to serve the number of passengers in 2027. The alternative solutions is to use 1 aircraft of the ATR-72 Series 500 that can overcome the need for short-term passenger carrying capacity and the length of the existing runway is still able to serve flight requests. However for long-term services, Boeing 737 Series 500 aircraft is used which require additional runway lengths of 1,400 to 2,656 m.
