  • As a theory, location is the effects of space on the organization of economic activities. The main stages in determining the airport location is to determine the size of land required; the evaluation of factors that influence the airport location; the study of the possible alternatives area which can be built; survey/inspection location; environmental studies; evaluation of the locations that are considered potential; preparation of an outline plan, cost and revenue estimates; evaluation and final selection; and report and recommendations. The purpose of this study were to select the optimal location of airports and feasible in terms of economical, technical, land use, air transport operational and the environment aspects, and also preparing a strategy analysis, forecast growth in short, medium and long terms in facing the challenges ahead. The study was conducted by collecting primary and secondary data. The data was based on field survey; interviews; discussions with airport authority, official government, etc; and also from various agencies. Analytical tools used were: (1) scoring method (lykert scale), (2) formulas of NPV, BCR, EIRR, FIRR, (3) aviation operation safety zone and noise zoning area management viewed from land use plan, (4) regression analysis, and (5) analysis of environmental aspect (noise, air pollution, etc.). The findings and recommendations were: optimal airport location should provide: (1) a positive benefit/value on high score in technical aspect viewed from the topography, soil structure, hydrology and geology/physiography; land use; accessibility; infrastructure; availability of land; and distance to/from airport, (2) NPV>0, BCR>1, EIRR, and FIRR is higher than the cost of capital, viewed from economic and financial aspects, (3) limited obstacles related to Aviation Operation Safety Zone and Noise Zone Contour viewed from land use plan (4) good forecasting analysis viewed from airport operational aspect, and (5) minimum of airport construction impact on pre-construction, construction and post-construction viewed from environmental aspect.
