The airport is located close to the extensive tourist developments of southern Bali; the resort center of Kuta is 2.5 km north of the airport. The airport was previously determined by Transportation Security Administration of the United States of America in 2005 as not meeting the security standards of the International Civil Aviation Administration,^[2] however this warning was lifted on 2007-10-11.^[3].
