APT Pranoto Airport in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, has focused on maintaining operational safety and readiness through various measures.

In late August 2026, airport management reported that flight operations remained stable despite ongoing forest and land fires across Kalimantan. To mitigate the impact of potential haze, authorities installed air purifiers and air conditioning in terminals, placed the Health Quarantine Office on standby, and coordinated with meteorological and aviation agencies to monitor visibility and hotspots.

By mid-September 2026, the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation conducted emergency preparedness simulations at the airport. These included a Full Scale Airport Emergency Exercise (AEE) led by the Flight Accident Rescue and Firefighting unit, as well as an Airport Contingency Exercise (ACE) directed by Aviation Security. These exercises aimed to test personnel readiness, equipment effectiveness, and the coordination of emergency response procedures.
