Operating hoursH24 — terminal, tower and customs operate around the clock. The single runway is shared with the Indonesian Air Force's Dhomber air base (TNI-AU); no published recurring runway-maintenance closure window or curfew could be verified.
TerminalsSingle integrated terminal opened for operations March 2014 (formally inaugurated September 2014), approximately 110,000 sqm, designed for roughly 10M passengers/year, combining domestic and international processing with 11 aerobridges, 74 check-in counters and 8 baggage carousels; multi-story car park with about 2,300 vehicle spaces. A runway extension from 2,500m to roughly 3,250m to accommodate wide-body aircraft (reportedly raising slot capacity from 22 to 40 movements/hour) has been publicly discussed since at least 2023, with land reportedly prepared and an initial completion target of 2025 that has since slipped; official sources now describe a horizon of 'before 2030' — still not built as of August 2026, treat as unconfirmed/planned only.
Runways (1)
- 07/25 · 2,500 m / 8,202 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS reported on RWY 25 (IBPN 110.900, final approach course 247 degrees) per chart/Jeppesen-derived sources — CAT designation not independently re-confirmed against a live AIP/chart source in this pass; RWY 07 is served by a non-precision (VOR/DME) approach only.
The busiest airport in Kalimantan and the principal air gateway to East Kalimantan, serving as a key logistics and crew-change hub for the regional oil and gas industry and, as of August 2026, still the primary commercial air gateway to Indonesia's new capital city, Nusantara (IKN), reached via the Balikpapan–IKN toll road (roughly 50km, opened in phases from August 2024 with fuller operation from December 2025 — no longer merely 'planned'). A separate, dedicated Bandara Internasional Nusantara at IKN itself (3,000m runway, the longest in Kalimantan, certified operational since June 2025) currently handles only government, TNI-AU and charter traffic pending a presidential regulation to open it to scheduled commercial flights; once that happens it may absorb some of Sepinggan's IKN-bound traffic and hajj-embarkation role, so Sepinggan's status here should be re-checked periodically. Handled 5,534,519 passengers in 2024 (+8.1% YoY per DGCA/BPS data) on a single 07/25 runway. Base/focus city for Citilink, Lion Air, Wings Air and Super Air Jet, with international service to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bandar Seri Begawan, Bangkok and Penang (all reconfirmed active as of mid-2026); also currently one of Kalimantan's hajj embarkation airports.
