About Banyuwangi International Airport

Banyuwangi Airport (IATA: BWX, ICAO: WADY) (formerly code: WARB) is a domestic airport at Blimbingsari, which serves Banyuwangi city and surrounding area in East Java, Indonesia. It was formerly known as Blimbingsari Airport. It began operations in December 2010. It is termed the first green airport of Indonesia. The airport is managed by PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), after being handed over by the Ministry of Transportation on 22 December 2017.
