The Lombok International Airport ( Indonesian Bandara Internasional Lombok , IATA : LOP , ICAO : WADL ) is the airport of Mataram , the capital of the Indonesian province of Nusa Tenggara Barat .
history
It opened on October 1, 2011, replacing the previous Selaparang Airport on the same island of Lombok . Due to the increasing number of tourists on the island of Lombok, the old Selaparang Airport, which could handle a maximum of 850,000 passengers per year, had become too small.
Planning for Bandara International Lombok Airport, which is located in Tanak Awu, around 30 kilometers southeast of the island's capital Mataram, has been in progress since the 1990s.
