It is in the village of Sungai Siring at the [[North Samarinda]] district, close to the border with [[Muara Badak]]. The airport is also colloquially known as '''Sungai Siring Airport''', to distinguish it from its predecessor, the now-closed [[Temindung Airport]]. The airport is named after Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto, the first governor of East Kalimantan who was in office from 1957 to 1961.
The airport started commercial operation on 24 May 2018, replacing the Temindung Airport.

Sungai Siring Airport was designed as a replacement for the [[Temindung Airport|former Samarinda Airport]] (commonly known as Temindung Airport) originally built in 1973. Located in the densely built-up Sungai Pinang District with a single runway extending into settlements, Temindung had only limited room for expansion to cope with steadily increasing air traffic. By the 2000s, Temindung had become one of Kaltim's busiest airports – it far exceeded its annual passenger and cargo design capacities. One out of every 25 flights experienced delays, largely due to lack of space for aircraft, gates, and runway.<ref>{{cite book|last=Asprimagama|first=Ryan|title=Implementasi Tanggung Jawab Pengangkut Mengenai Ganti Kerugian Atas Keterlambatan Angkutan Udara Pada Bandara Temindung|publisher=The University of Mulawarman|year=2013|page=9|url=http://e-journal.fhunmul.ac.id/index.php/beraja/article/view/86/83|access-date=27 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303215826/http://e-journal.fhunmul.ac.id/index.php/beraja/article/view/86/83|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
A 1992 planning study by Civil Aviation and Public Works departments identified the district of Sungai Siring, as a possible airport replacement site. Away from the congested city centre, flight paths would be routed over North Samarinda rather than populous urban areas, enabling efficient round-the-clock operation of multiple runways.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kutai Akhirnya Batal Bangun Bandara |url=http://tekno.kompas.com/read/2008/12/29/17574099/kutai.akhirnya.batal.bangun.bandara |website=KOMPAS.com |date=29 December 2008 |publisher=Kompas Cyber Media |language=id}}</ref> The Sungai Siring (SGS) airport master plan was completed in 1995. In 1998, however, the government shelved the project for financial and economic reasons. The Airport Location Study was undertaken by Indonesian consultants. This study came up with four recommended locations for overall strategic development in Samarinda. One of the four assumed a new airport at Makroman; a second assumed a new airport at Palaran; the third assumed a new airport at Sungai Siring; and the fourth assumed a new airport at Bayur.<ref name="techno">Dibangun Dibiayai dan Dikelola oleh Pemda Kaltim, Techno Konstruksi, September 2013</ref> In November 2003 the Governor of East Borneo announced that a decision had been made on the Airport Location Study. The strategy was a replacement airport at Sungai Siring, levelled to a height of 25 metres.<ref>Rencana Pemprov Yang Diambil Pemkot, Kaltim Post, June 2009 by Felanans Mustari ST</ref>
The consultants advised that the earliest the airport could be opened was June 2009. However, in reaching the government's decision, this date was modified to December 2007. Construction of the new airport began in 2005.
The construction period was very slow; specialists considered only 2–3-year period was sufficient for this aviation project. There was uncertain future of the airport construction after Panitia Pengadaan BSB manipulated the nomination of PT NCR as the contractor. It was originally believed that BPKP preferred to keep everything investigated and minimise financial commitments for the project temporarily, therefore stopping all construction. In practice, the airport did not finish in time for the investigation. However, the government of East Borneo gave an additional year's deadline.<ref name=buildsri>{{cite book|author=MSH|title=Kutai Akhirnya Batal Bangun Bandara|publisher=[[Kompas Gramedia]]|year=2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Felanans|title=Tutup Mata Kejanggalan Bandara Sungai Siring|publisher=Jawa Pos Group|year=2012}}</ref>
Construction of the new airport was only part of the MP3EI Master Plan, which also involved construction of new road and rail links to the airport. The detailed design for the airport terminal was awarded to Arkonin,<ref>{{cite web|title=Transport Projects|work=Arkonin|access-date=22 June 2021|url=http://www.arkonin-id.com/prj_tp.php|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210622121941/http://www.arkonin-id.com/prj_tp.php|archive-date=22 June 2021|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Arkonin|work=Archinesia|access-date=22 June 2021|url=https://archinesia.com/profile/arkonin/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210622122927/https://archinesia.com/profile/arkonin/|archive-date=22 June 2021|url-status=live}}</ref> with Airmas Asri as specialist designers for airport related aspects.
