Lombok International Airport (Lombok International Airport)
Lombok International Airport, (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Internasional Lombok), also known as Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport, is an international airport on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. It is the island's only fully operational airport.
It replaced Selaparang Airport, 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 Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on 20 October 2011. The airport can accommodate widebody high capacity Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 airliners, as well as smaller aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family which were already serving Lombok. The first arriving aircraft was a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-800NG marking the commencement of operations on 1 October 2011.
Bandara Internasional Lombok (BIL) had several operational names proposed. In January 2009 results of a public opinion poll conducted in Lombok indicated that Lombok International Airport (LIA) was chosen by 40.4% of respondents, Sasak International Airport (SIA) 20%, Rinjani International Airport (RIA) 46 16.7%, Mandalika the International Airport (MIA) 10.9%, Selaparang International Airport ( SIA) 8%, Pejanggik International Airport (PIA) 2.9%, and Arya Banjar Brittle International Airport (ABGIA) 1.1%.
According to the airport's official website, the name is Lombok International Airport in English, and Bandar Udara Internasional Lombok in Indonesian. It is referred to as Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport in some sources. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid was an ulema from Lombok which founded Nahdlatul Wathan, a prominent Islamic organization in the province.
The IATA code "LOP" only came into formal use in late November 2011. Before that the IATA code AMI, from Selaparang, was used by the airlines servicing the airport. Garuda and Batavia began to partially adopt the LOP code in their booking and ticketing systems at that time. Lion Air was using AMI at the end of November 2011; however, all flights were operating solely to and from Lombok International Airport.
