Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport is an international airport that serves the city of Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. The airport is often referred as to SSK II, SSK or Sultan Syarif Qasim II International Airport (SSQ II), and formerly known as Simpang Tiga Airport. The namesake of the airport is Sultan Syarif Kasim II, the last sultan of Siak and an Indonesian National Hero. The airport serves flights to and from several cities and towns in Indonesia and neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. The airport area and runway is also shared with Roesmin Nurjadin Air Force Base, a Type A airbase of the TNI-AU (Indonesian Air Force). The airbase is named after the former Chief of Indonesian Air Force, Cmdr. ''Roesmin Nurjadin''. Starting in early December 2014, it served as the homebase of 16 F-16 squadrons upon completion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lanud Roesmin Nurjadin Pekanbaru Kini Miliki Skuadron F16 )〕 the replacement for the Skadron Udara 12 ''Black Panthers'', comprising a fleet of Hawk Mk.109s and Mk.209s. In early 2010, the first phase of the airport's expansion started with the construction of a new terminal to replace the original terminal built in the 1980s. The original terminal was demolished to make way for additional parking spaces. The new terminal will sport a modern design with three jetways and a larger apron. Despite the opening of the new terminal in 2012, two out of the three jet bridges commenced operation in late July 2014. This is the first time in the history of the airport that jet bridges were utilised. ==History== The colonial era Simpang Tiga airport was a disc-shaped landing field about a kilometer west of the current runway. At that time, the area was called the "cornerstone of the Air" where "The foundation of the Air" in which the foundation is still made up of the compacted and hardened soil and was used as a military base. Originally the foundation was redone from the East to the West with the runway number 14 and 32. During the Japanese occupation, the airfield was home to a small squadron of airplanes from the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force, before being taken over by the Allies. The airfield was a transit stop on KNILM's Batavia to Medan or Batavia to Singapore route.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Image: kni40-0.jpg, (2345 × 852 px) )〕 After the independence of Indonesia, the newly created Garuda Indonesian Airways also served Pekanbaru from Jakarta via Padang or Palembang. In the early days of independence, the current runway was built adjacent to the old airfield. At first it was only 800 meters long numbered 18 and 36. In 1950 the runway was extended to 1,500 meters, and in 1967 the runway and aircraft parking ramp was paved with asphalt to a thickness of 7 cm and the length of the 500-meter runway. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
