Sutan Sjahrir Air Force Base, formerly Tabing Airport (IATA: PDG, ICAO: WIMG), is a military air base in Padang, Indonesia. Tabing Airport was West Sumatra's primary airport for civil aviation prior to the opening of Minangkabau International Airport on 22 July 2005. Tabing Airport is now used by the Indonesian Air Force. It has been renamed after Sutan Sjahrir, Indonesia's first prime minister.
