The airport was heavily damaged by the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake and had to be closed for two days . Some parts of the runway were cracked , and the departure lounge collapsed . Most flights were cancelled or rerouted to Adisumarmo International Airport , Solo . After the airport returned to service on 30 May 2006 , all passengers used the international lounge until the new domestic departure lounge was ready . During this period , passenger comfort was affected as the international lounge was designed only for about 100 passengers at a time . The airport was closed for several days due to the 2010 Mount Merapi eruption as the volcanic ash could endanger the safety of flights . During this period , passengers were diverted to Adisumarmo International Airport in Solo , Achmad Yani International Airport in Semarang , or transferred to another mode of transportation to the city of Yogyakarta
