history

a Douglas DC-3 of the airline KNILM at Ulin Airfield (1936)

Syamsuddin Noor Airport was built in 1936 during the Dutch colonial era under the name Lapangan Terbang ( German  airfield ) Ulin. In 1944 the Japanese occupation government expanded the airfield to a length of 2220 meters and a width of 45 meters. After the airfield was destroyed by bombing in World War II , the Dutch colonial administration ( NICA ) had the runway reinforced with stones. After the takeover by the Indonesian Civil Aviation Office, the airfield was expanded into a civil airport that a Fokker F28 could land on.

On April 9, 1970, the airport was renamed after the local aviation pioneer, Lieutenant Syamsudin Noor.

In 1977 the Ministry of Transport built the current runway 80 meters north of the old one, which enabled a DC-9 to land .
