Airport
[edit]An expansion of dormant Notohadinegoro Airport was verified for reuse/operational in June 2014. The airport now has 1,705 meters runway and was ready to serve up to ATR 72/600.
However, the airport has been closed since April 2020 with no plans to reopen. High jet fuel prices and a lack of demand make Notohadinegoro Airport unprofitable for domestic airlines.
