Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (SHIA) is an international airport in Makassar, Indonesia. It is located 20 km (12 mi) northeast of Makassar's city centre and is operated by PT. Angkasa Pura I. The new terminal was opened on 20 August 2008. This airport is the main gateway for flights to the eastern part of Indonesia, and named after Sultan Hasanuddin, a Sultan of Gowa, who fought against the Dutch East India Company in the 1660s.
The old terminal was completely vacated after the opening of the new terminal in 2008 and is currently used is used by the TNI-AU (Indonesian Air Force) which houses Skadron Udara 11 (Air Squadron 11). The new terminal is located just south of the old terminal. It has the capacity to handle 7 million passengers and in 2010 served 5 million,[1] It is five times larger than the old terminal, and includes six jetbridges. It is the first airport terminal in Indonesia designed in a high-tech architecture style. The expansion of the terminal is currently under construction and expected to be finished in mid 2021. The terminal will be 3 times bigger and can accommodate around 15 millions passengers. Couple more aerobridges will be added for both Domestic and International Flight. There will be dedicated international terminal and an elevated departure drop off, a parking building. The grand design of the terminal is based on butterfly.
Since the beginning of the new millennium, passenger numbers have increased more than sixfold. Historically air freight traffic has played a minor role in Makassar from an economic standpoint. It has developed slowly in part due to the relatively high license fee by the operator, currently 25 rupiah per kg of body construction and 15 rupiah per kg for the goods introduction.
Wow. For this price you get a really beautifully rendered scenery with good detail.
I can highly recommend this scenery - it is (also in real life) a super nice airport to fly into. I come in only on Freigthers, but the scenery is detailed enough to accomodate all ops.
In addition to above, the DEV replied to me within 1 hour when I had a question about the EFFECTS files in the package (night lighting). 5-Star all around!
This is a very well done scenery of a pretty forgotten about part of the world. Great to see someone paying attention and doing a lovely job on Makassar.
