The data were based on field survey, interviews, discussion with airport authority, official government, etc. and also from various agencies. Analytical tools applied were: regression analysis, to forecasts passenger and aircraft movements; and JICA formulas, to analyze the aircraft movement at peak hours, and number of aircraft parking stands for short, medium, and long terms period.The conclusion are: (a) the optimizing level on the apron area, especially at peak hours at SHIA depends on the aircraft service time, (b) the ability to serve the aircrafts on the apron area at peak hours as many as 17 to 22 aircraft parking stands, and need additional space as much as 24,431m 2 , 39,216 m 2 , and 52,354 m 2 in 2015, 2020 and 2025 respectively, (c) requirement to develop/introduceother aircraft parking stands model, (d) proposed the new apron or aircraft parking stands model as known as pier or satellite models to anticipate the increasing number of passenger and aircraft movements in the near future; while the recommendation can be included that the use of service time as effectively and efficiently at the apron area could provide better service for passengers, aircrafts.
