[4] The airport is managed by PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), after being handed over by the Ministry of Transportation on 22 December 2017.

[9] Construction was initiated in 2002, with vice president Hamzah Haz placing the cornerstone.

Cases related to land acquisition resulted in two regents of Banyuwangi - Samsul Hadi and Ratna Ani Lestari being convicted of corruption.

[10] Originally the runway was only 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) in length and could only accommodate small propeller-driven aircraft such as the Cessna 208, but in 2012 it was extended to 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) to allow large turboprop airliners such as the Fokker 50 and ATR 72 to operate from the airport.

The terminal has an area of about 20,000 square meters, which can accommodate two million passengers annually.
