The waiting room was originally only able to accommodate 40-50 people; now it can hold 180–200.[2]
The airport is surrounded by sea and mountains, and is probably one of the most extreme airports in Indonesia.[original research?] Pilots have to turn 90 degrees plane shortly after takeoff or before landing.[citation needed] Not without reason, because there is a mountain a few kilometers from the end of the runway. Therefore, only the most experienced pilots are allowed to pilot aircraft that is going to or from the airport.[3]
The current apron can accommodate three planes. When more than three need to use the apron, any additional plane(s) must wait. Wait times for the use of the apron by a fourth or fifth plane have been up to 20 minutes. In 2014, the apron was scheduled to be enlarged to the east to accommodate up to five planes.[4]
