Name that Airport

[brianw999]

Another island airport, this time a large island.

Initially used by an industrial conglomerate, later became a public, commercial airport. Single runway just under 2,500 metres.

[brianw999]

The industrial conglomerate was Dutch. Plans are afoot to extend the runway to 3100 metres.

Brand new airport; actually still under construction.
First part opened 2009 and was named after the ex-president of the country.

I'm tempted with Berlin Brandenburg but I don't think any part of it is open yet ?

Nope, it's not Berlin Brandenburg.(opens june 2012)
Not in Europe either

Construction will take place in four stages.
Stage one is open since 2009. Last stage will be completed in 2036.
