ADI SOEMARMO (SOC) AIRPORT GOT SOMETHING THAT I WANT


Adi Soemarmo International Airport (SOC) in Surakarta, Central Java is only a small airport. Serving only 12 flights per day;  two international airlines (AirAsia and Silkair) , while four other airlines (Garuda, Lionair, Sriwijaya Air, and Batavia Air) operate 10 domestic flights per day.

For most aviation photographers, this airport would probably not be considered a good destination to photograph aircraft aside from those wanting to photograph aircraft during the Hajj.  However, during my 42 day assignment here, I have been able to photograph other aircraft of interest.  Almost every day, AirAsia has been operating A320 aircraft here with special color schemes.  I have been able to photograph at least three different aircraft in special color schemes that I have previously not been able to see in Bali.
