Silangit Airport

Raja Sisingamangaraja XII Airport

Raja Sisingamangaraja XII Airport is a domestic airport located in Siborong-Borong in North Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The airport is located approximately 47 miles from Parapat, a town on the shore of Lake Toba, and serves as the main gateway to the lake and its surrounding region. It was developed to improve air connectivity and support economic and tourism growth in Lake Toba, one of Indonesia’s ten priority tourist destinations. Formerly known as Silangit Airport, it was renamed in 2018 after Sisingamangaraja XII (1849–1907), a Batak king and also a national hero of Indonesia. It previously operated international routes to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Singapore, but these were discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the airport’s international status was revoked by the Ministry of Transportation in 2024.
