Adisucipto (or Adisutjipto) International Airport (IATA: JOG, ICAO: WARJ) is the principal airport serving the Yogyakarta area on the island of Java, Indonesia.
It is located in the Sleman district, in the Yogyakarta Special Region, on the north-east outskirts of the city, near the Prambanan historic temple site. It has one runway, with dimensions of 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) by 45 metres (148 ft). The airport is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the city center.
Adisucipto Airport is the third busiest airport in Java, after Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Jakarta and Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya.
Adisucipto Airport was preceded by a landing ground at Maguwo which was used prior to and during the Second World War. It is named after Adisoetjipto, a pilot who was killed during an attack on Maguwo by the Dutch on 29 July 1947, while flying a Dakota VT-CLA for the Indonesian Air Force.
The airport was heavily damaged by the 27th May 2006 earthquake and had to be closed for two days. Some parts of the runway were cracked, and the departure lounge collapsed. During those two days, most flights were canceled or rerouted to Adisumarmo International Airport, Solo. After the airport returned to service on 30 May 2006, all passengers used the international lounge until the new domestic departure lounge was ready. During this period, passenger comfort was affected as the airport as the international lounge was designed only for about 100 passengers at a time.
International Routes
Before Adisucipto became an international airport, Yogyakarta depended on Bali and Jakarta for its international flights. The airport became an international airport on 21 February 2004 with the first flight, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, operated by the Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia. This was the successful conclusion to the city's efforts of over 30 years to have its own international airport. One month later, Garuda Indonesia operated its second international flight, to Singapore. Due to low demand, Garuda Indonesia ceased international flights from the airport on November 2006.
International flights resumed on 30 January 2008 when AirAsia began to fly the Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur route using Airbus 320 aircraft. From 1 February 2008, Malaysia Airlines started to serve the Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur route operating Boeing 737-400 aircraft.
In April 2008 AirAsia raised the frequency of its Yogyakarta—Kuala Lumpur flights from four times weekly to daily.[1] In December 2008, Garuda Indonesia resumed its Yogyakarta—Singapore flight, operating three times weekly, but ceased in 2009. AirAsia started to fly a Yogyakarta—Singapore flight on 24 March 2009, operating daily.
[edit] Development
Adisutjipto Airport's Domestic Departure LoungeAdisucipto is being redeveloped in order to cope with the increasing number of passengers. The location of this airport is unusual since the terminal is only about 10 meters from a railway line. A long range plan has been developed to build Adisucipto as a "fused terminal" by building a railway station and bus terminal in the airport. There is still a problem over limited availability of land. An underpass connecting the terminal building and a new parking lot (to the north of the railway) has been completed. The construction of the new Maguwo Baru Railway Station to the north of the airport has also been completed.
There are plans to lengthen the runway by 300 metres (980 ft) to the east. The runway will then be 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) in length. Plans also call for a new taxiway, widening of the apron so that it will be able to handle 11 Boeing 737-400s and 2 Boeing 767-300ERs, and expansion of the terminal.

Magelang
Magelang History
The Magelang town hall in 1925-1936According to a local act number 6 (1989), Magelang was established on 11 April 907. Magelang was then known as a village called Mantyasih, which is now known as Meteseh. There are three stele of historical importance in Magelang, namely Poh, Gilikan and Mantyasih, all of which are written on a plate of copper. Poh and Mantyasih were written under the rule of King Balitung of Mataram Kingdom. In those stele, the villages of Mantyasih and Glanggang were mentioned. They became Meteseh and Magelang respectively.
In Mantyasih stele, it mentioned the name of King Watukura Dyah Balitung, as well as 829 Çaka bulan Çaitra tanggal 11 Paro-Gelap Paringkelan Tungle, Pasaran Umanis hari Senais Sçara atau Sabtu, which means Saturday Legi, 11 April 907. The village Mantyasih was made by the king as tax-free village which was led by a patih (similar to Prime Minister nowadays). Also mentioned are Mount Susundara and Mount Wukir Sumbing which is now known as Mount Sindoro and Mount Sumbing.
When Britain colonised Magelang in the eighteenth century, Magelang became the seat of the government and was made to the same level as a regency with Mas Ngabehi Danukromo as its first leader (Bupati). Mas Ngabehi Danukromo built Alun-Alun (town square), bupati residence and a mosque. Magelang became the capital of Karesidenan Kedu in 1818. After the Dutch defeated the British, Magelang was made the central of economy because its strategic location. The Dutch government built drinking water tower (known locally as Menara Air Minum) in 1918 which provides the city with water. Electricity became available in 1927. The roads were remade using asphalt.
The city has historically been a military post, dating back to the Dutch East Indies colonial era. It subsequently acted as an army stronghold for Indonesian pro-independence movements against the Dutch government during the resistance period. Currently, it is host to two military landmarks: The National Military Academy, and the only military-associated school, Taruna Nusantara[2].
After the independence of Indonesia, Magelang became kotapraja (same level as a district) and then kotamadya (same level as city).[4][5]
Demography
The composition of demography based on its religion and belief, Magelang people has varied and different belief and religion. Majority of magelang citizen are Muslim, but there are minority group such as Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and also there are also spiritualism and traditional Javanese belief. Therefore, Magelang citizen are plural, although majority of them Muslim. They usually stick together and keep mutual relationship among them. Perhaps, it is a Javanese wisdom which every people to get close and involve to maintain society.

Lion Airlines
Perjalanan panjang yang telah ditempuh Lion Air berawal dari penerbangan domestik yang kecil. Setelah 13 tahun pengalaman di bisnis wisata yang ditandai dengan kesuksesan biro perjalanan Lion Tours, kakak-beradik Kusnan dan Rusdi Kirana bertekad menjadikan impian mereka untuk memiliki usaha penerbangan menjadi kenyataan. Dibekali ambisi yang tinggi dan modal awal 10 juta dolar Amerika Serikat, Lion Air secara hukum didirikan pada bulan Oktober tahun 1999. Namun pengoperasian baru berjalan di mulai pada tanggal 30 Juni tahun 2000. Saat ini, Rusdi Kirana sebagai salah satu pemilik Lion Air memegang jabatan sebagai Presiden dan juga Direktur.
Hingga pertengahan 2005, bersama dengan penerbangan internasional lainnya, Lion Air menempati Terminal 2F Bandara Sukarno-Hatta; sedangkan perusahaan penerbangan lokal atau penerbangan domestik menempati Terminal Satu. Faktor tersebut, selain mampu memberikan para penumpang kemudahan penerbangan sambungan ke Indonesia atau dari Indonesia ke tujuan internasional lainnya, juga memberikan keuntungan lebih dari segi prestise. Tetapi kemudian Lion Air dipindahkan ke Terminal 1A, hingga saat ini.Sedangkan semua penerbangan internasional Lion Air dilayani dari terminal 2E.
Pada 2005, Lion Air memiliki 24 pesawat penerbangan yang terdiri dari 19 seri McDonnell Douglas MD-82 dan 5 pesawat DHC-8-301.
Dalam upaya meremajakan armadanya, Lion Air telah memesan 178 Boeing 737-900ER yang akan diantar bertahap dari 2007 hingga 2014. Saat ini armada Lion Air berjumlah 57 Pesawat yang terdiri dari 11 Unit 737 Classsic Series (733, 734), 36 Unit 737NG (739NG), 8Unit MD Series (MD82,MD90) dan 2 Unit Jumbo Jet 737-400.
Saat ini rata rata usia pesawat Lion Air adalah yang termuda di indonesia : 9.2 tahun, sedangkan garuda 10.3tahun bandingkan dengan Batavia Air 20.7 dan Sriwijaya Air dengan rata rata usia pesawat 24.3 tahun (source Airfleet.net)
