An expansion of dormant Notohadinegoro Airport was verified for reuse/operational in June 2014. The airport now has 1,705 meters runway and was ready to serve up to ATR 72/600.

However, the airport has been closed since April 2020 with no plans to reopen. High jet fuel prices and a lack of demand make Notohadinegoro Airport unprofitable for domestic airlines.{{cite web |url=http://surabaya.tribunnews.com/2014/06/27/kemenhub-verifikasi-bandara-jember |title=Kemenhub Verifikasi Bandara Jember |date=June 27, 2014}}
