Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Internasional Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan) (IATA: BPN, ICAO: WALL), formerly named as Sepinggan Airport,[3][4] is an international airport serving the city of Balikpapan and adjacent areas of East Kalimantan, located in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The airport began its new operational phase on 6 August 1997, with a new building and runway structure, replacing the old structure on the same site. The airport is operated by PT. Angkasa Pura I, which has an area of 300 hectares (740 acres).

The airport is the third busiest airport in Kalimantan[5] after those in Banjarmasin[6][7][8][9][10] and Pontianak.[11] The airport was named the second-best in service in the world for airports with annual handling capacity of 5 million to 15 million passengers in 2018 by Airports Council International.[12] With numerous buildings located around the airport and its only runway jutting out into the settlement, landings at the airport were dramatic to experience and technically demanding for pilots.[13][14]
