Airport HistoryEst. 1932

Bali's international airport began as a rudimentary Dutch colonial grass airstrip at Tuban in the early 1930s and was renamed in 1968 to honor I Gusti Ngurah Rai, a Balinese nationalist hero killed in 1946 fighting for Indonesian independence. Massive expansions during the 1990s and again in 2013-2014 transformed it into one of Southeast Asia's leading tourist gateways, now serving nearly 24 million passengers a year, including Emirates' A380 service launched in 2023.

✦The airport was ranked the world's third-best in its passenger category in 2016 by international airport-quality surveys.

✦I Gusti Ngurah Rai, the airport's namesake, died leading Balinese forces in the 1946 Battle of Margarana, one of the defining episodes of Bali's resistance during Indonesia's independence struggle.

1932

Tuban Airfield Built

The Dutch colonial government constructs a simple 700-meter grass airstrip at Tuban on Bali's southern coast, the precursor to today's international airport.

1942

Japanese Occupation Expands Runway

Japanese forces capture the airfield intact in February 1942 and expand the runway from 700 to 1,200 meters during World War II occupation.

1968

Renamed for I Gusti Ngurah Rai

The airport is renamed in honor of I Gusti Ngurah Rai, a Balinese nationalist military commander killed on November 20, 1946, during the Battle of Margarana against Dutch colonial forces.

1992

Tourism-Driven Expansion Begins

The Airport Facilities and Aviation Safety Development program's Phase I (1990-1992) extends the runway to 3,000 meters, expands the terminal with jet bridges, and upgrades navigation systems to accommodate Bali's growing tourism industry.

2013

New International Terminal Opens

A new international terminal opens in September 2013 with 96 check-in counters and 11 aerobridges, followed by an expanded domestic terminal in September 2014 with capacity for 9.4 million passengers annually.

2023

Emirates A380 Service Begins

Emirates launches Airbus A380 service to the airport in June 2023, marking the arrival of the world's largest passenger aircraft on a scheduled route to Bali.

General encyclopedic sources (Wikipedia, Bali travel-industry guides). 2024 passenger figure (~23.9 million) reflects the latest publicly reported annual data at time of research.
