Jenderal Ahmad Yani Airport[1] (IATA: SRG, ICAO: WAHS) is an airport serving the city of Semarang, in Central Java, Indonesia. The airport is named in honor of Ahmad Yani (1922–1965), who is a National Hero of Indonesia. As of 2018, it was one of the fastest-growing airports in the world by growth percentage.[2] The airport is operated by PT Angkasa Pura I, a state enterprise of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation that manages airports in the eastern part of the country.

The airport used to be a military airbase owned by the TNI (Armed Forces of Indonesia) until 1966, when the airport was declared open to domestic commercial flights, while continuing to operate as an airbase for the Indonesian Army. The area is commonly known as Kalibanteng, hence it was commonly known as Kalibanteng Airbase. The new floating terminal of the airport was officially opened by Indonesian President Joko Widodo on 7 June 2018.[3]

On 2 April 2024, the Ministry of Transportation revoked the international status of the airport.[4]
