Abstract

Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto Airport is located in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, which serves as the capital of
East Kalimantan Province. In 2024, the airport recorded a total of 846,252 passengers with 8,827 flights. This increase
in flight volume has an impact on the capacity of airport facilities, particularly the apron. This study employs a
quantitative forecasting method using secondary data, namely the annual number of flights from 2020 to 2024. The
forecasting results indicate that by 2045, based on the arithmetic method, the projected number of flights will reach
26,267.5 flights. When rounded up, the total is 26,268 flights in 2045. Furthermore, the estimated requirement for
parking stands in 2045 is 23 stands, an increase of 10 stands from the current 13.
