Medan Kuala Namu Airport

Medan International Airport at Kuala Namu North Sumatra Indonesia

Want a glimpse of the new Medan International Airport?

Medan’s new airport is long overdue. The current Medan Polonia Airport is one of the busiest airport in Indonesia and yet smaller and older than many airports in Indonesia. I once visited Padang – a town much smaller than Medan and surprisingly, it has a newer and modern airport compared to Medan.

You will understand what I mean when you land in Medan where passengers still have to take the stairs up and down the plane.

Yes, we do not have the hangars that we can walk to the planes from the terminal like many airports in the world. ( ehm.. except for the latest budget terminals in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur etc that were specifically built for the budget airlines )

Medan was supposed to build the Kuala Namu Airport to replace Polonia Airport before the 1997 economic crisis and the project was delayed until recently.

Here’s a video by Air Transport Authority of Indonesia ( Departmen Perhubungan Udara Republik Indonesia ), PT. Angkasa Pura Schipol, PT. Hasfarm Dian Konsultan and PT. LAPI Ganeshatama Consulting of a 3D simulation of the new Airport building at Kuala Namu

Hopefully, the next time you visit Medan ( 2009-2010 ) , we can welcome you with our new Airport at Kuala Namu :-)

    melihat video , perencanaan lapangan terbang internasional kuala namu PT Angkasa Pura Schipol dan PT Hasfarm Dian Konsultan serta PT LAPI Ganeshatama Consulting of 3D, dan mendengar lagu o tao toba nauli , kiranya apa yang dimaknakan lagu yang mengiringi dibangunnya Air Port Kuala Namu Int dapat tercipta sesuai dengan apa yang dirindukan seluruh masyarakat se NKRI dan Kota Medan menjadi salah satu simbul bagi dunia dirgantara sebagai AIR PORT yang memiliki pelayanan WISATA Dirgantara yang dibanggakan diseluruh dunia.
    Tentu hal ini harus didukung oleh seluruh warga ditanah air NKRI khususnya Sumatra Utara dan lebih khusus warga Kota Medan.
    Horas Medan ,

    God Bless NKRI,

    Indonesian contractor fined if Medan aiport not finished on time

    JAKARTA, Mar 31, 2009 (Asia In Focus via COMTEX) — Indonesian vice president Jusuf Kalla threatened to impose a fine if the contractor fails to complete construction of the first phase of Medan’s new Kuala Namu international airport as scheduled in October 2009.

    Kalla said meeting the target was urgent as Medan’s old airport of Polonia was no longer fit to serve as an international airport needed to support economic development of North Sumatra.

    Polonia has recorded around five million passengers a year, or five times its capacity of one million, he said when visiting Medan last weekend.

    Buat Bang Rahudman,

    Tolong bang aspal Jalan Platina dari simpang dobi ke pintu tol mabar, soalnya jalan tersebut setiap saat ramai dengankederaan mobil menuju ke pintu tol mabar. Sudah sekian tahun jalan tsb tidak diperbaiki. Juga jalan Platina Raya yang hancur agar cepat diaspal.
    Terimakasih Bang Rahudman atas perhatiannya

    You bloody wish. It’s been delayed for over 10 years.

    Hey guys, We’re coming to visit family in July 2010. Please tell me that the new airport will be taking AirAsia flights from Kuala Lumpur by then. Aslo, is there anywhere we can track its progress online?
