The Achmad Yani International Airport ( Indonesian Bandara Internasional Achmad Yani , IATA : SRG , ICAO : WARS ) is the airport of Semarang , the capital of the province of Central Java . The former military airfield Kalibanteng was opened for civil aviation in 1966. The steady increase in civil air traffic caused the airport to be classified under the PT.
