Soewondo Air Force Base is the former Polonia International Airport (IATA: MES, ICAO: WIMK) which was the principal airport serving Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, about 2 km from the downtown, and used to serve flights to several Indonesian and Malaysian cities, along with a flight to Singapore and Thailand.
The airport suffered from overcrowding, serving 7,5 million passengers annually in facilities designed to handle only 900,000 passengers. The other problems were no orderly parking space for taxis, too many porters and garbage control. Construction commenced 29 June 2006. It became Indonesia's 2nd-largest airport after Soekarno–Hatta International Airport and commenced operations on 25 July 2013.
In 2012, it handled around 7,890,796 passengers and 38,813 metric tons of cargo and had 65,966 aircraft movements.
