Hang Nadim International Airport (Indonesia) has demonstrated considerable growth ambitions in recent years, as the airport is becoming a major hub for both domestic and international connections. But the airport’s growth also coincides with increased safety requirements, and a continuous effort to prevent accidents, fatalities, injuries or significant damage. To be ready for future growth and to offer its passengers more security, Hang Nadim International Airport recently invested in advanced thermal video security technology from FLIR Systems.

Hang Nadim International Airport is located in Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia. Batam, an Indonesian island located close to Singapore, has quietly emerged as a domestic hub with a large volume of transit passengers. Mostly serving domestic flights, all the major domestic carriers operate out of Batam with services to Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan and Padang. Originally developed as an alternative airport for Singapore Changi Airport, Hang Nadim Airport has facilities and the longest runway (4,000m) in Indonesia, sufficient for wide body aircraft Boeing 747s and several times more passengers than it is currently serving.
