Selaparang Airport served as Lombok's primary gateway until its replacement opened in 2011. Today, the abandoned facility is a unique attraction for aviation buffs and urban explorers. Visitors can walk along the old runway, observe the decaying terminal buildings, and imagine the bustle of past flights. The site offers a glimpse into the island's aviation history and provides an unusual backdrop for photography. While not officially maintained, it remains a popular spot for locals to fly kites or gather during holidays.
