Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport

Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport (IATA: TNJ, ICAO: WIDN), Previously Kijang Airport, was an international airport located in Tanjungpinang City, Riau Islands province. This airport is managed by PT. Angkasa Pura II.

Its status from the past was international, but because the Riau Islands had not separated from Riau Mainland, the airport was rarely used. After 2001 Riau Islands officially became a new province in Indonesia, then there was a rapid development in the city of Tanjung Pinang and this airport was enlivened again by several airlines namely Merpati on December 19, 2007, Sriwijaya Air at the beginning of February 2008 and Riau Airlines in the middle in 2005.

In May 2007 the government disbursed funds for the development of this airport. The project starts in June. Airport development includes the addition of facilities such as radar and runways plus around 400 meters from the beginning, which is only 1,856 meters to 2,256 meters. In addition, the airport terminal building was also expanded from 2,118 square meters to 8,348 square meters. With this expansion, it is expected that in one year it will be able to serve 600 thousand people. In April 2008 the airport was officially renamed from Kijang Airport to Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport.

The airport's name is taken from the name of Raja Haji Fisabilillah, a national hero who also obtained Bintang Maha Putra Adi Pradana.
The runway extension is up to 3578 by 45 meters (11739 ft × 148 ft), and since September 2014 it has been used.
