Departing from Jakarta

Jakarta has two airports: Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLM) and Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK). While both are used for domestic flights, HLM is primarily used for private, military, and presidential needs. International flights almost always depart from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK). Located 20 km from central Jakarta, CGK (also known as Cengkareng Airport) handles the needs of almost 59 million passengers annually.

Serving dozens of passenger and cargo airlines, the airport is a permanent hub for Batik Air, Cardig Air, Citilink, Garuda Indonesia, Indonesia AirAsia, Lion Air, Nam Air, and Sriwijaya Air. CGK has three terminals and they’re in the planning stages to add a fourth. T1 deals specifically with domestic flights while T2 and T3 handle international and domestic needs. Most airlines suggest arriving two to three hours early for an international flight, but always check with your airline to ensure a smooth and easy security process. While waiting to board your flight, enjoy the shopping and eateries, Islamic prayer rooms throughout all terminals, and the spa and salon services in Terminal 1C.
