The construction of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) aims to accommodate the soaring number of passengers at Adi Sutjipto Airport, so it has excess capacity. In addition, the construction of this airport aims to support tourism activities in Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is a favorite tourist destination in Indonesia, so more tourists will visit. To facilitate access to tourism, an airport with a larger capacity is needed.
This airport runway has a size that is longer and wider than Adi Sucipto Airport, so YIA can serve international flights that cannot be served at Adi Sucipto Airport. International flights usually use large aircraft, which require large runways as well.
In terms of building architecture, the government wants a touch of the local culture at the airport. Even the YIA will be the first art and cultural showcase airport in Indonesia.
