Bali Ngurah Rai DPS Airport Overview

Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport DPS, also known as Denpasar Airport, is Indonesia's third-busiest international airport.Bali is the closest island to the east of Java and is a popular tourist destination offering a rich cultural experience, tropical beauty and a solid tourist infrastructure. It is famous for its ethnic artworks, its local theatrical dance performances, and its main tourist areas, which include Kuta, Sanur, Jimbaran, Seminyak and Nusa Dua.
To lessen congestion at Ngurah Rai, the new 'Lombok International Airport' recently opened on the nearby Island of Lombok, to the east of Bali – a 20-minute flight from this Airport.

Bali Airport is located in Tuban on the small Indonesian island of Bali, between Kuta & Jimbaran, and is 13 km south of the city of Denpasar. Bali Airport's passenger count is growing so fast that the Government is presently considering opening another airport nearby.

With a long runway and an estimated 13 million passengers in 2012, Bali Ngurah Rai Airport is hub to Garuda Indonesia, Indonesia AirAsia & Merpati Nusartara airlines, and is served by a host of major and low-cost international airlines, as well as tourist charters; it also serves as transfer airport to Malaysian and Indonesian travelers on their way to Australia and other points of the globe.  (Travelers from Los Angeles can take Singapore Airlines to Singapore & transfer on Garuda Indonesia airline to Bali - a trip of  21.5 hours; travelers from Europe also need to transfer in Singapore.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  As the Airport is presently undergoing re-construction until 2013, considerably affecting traffic patterns, be aware of the following:
1. Expect some delays during construction as all arrivals & departures will use the present international terminal.
2. There are no longer pickup & parking spaces in font of the two terminals;  parking is now far from the terminals.  Both domestic & international passengers must walk to the pickup/ dropoff area next to the outer parking lot - a covered walkwy leads to/from the area which is directly opposite international arrivals - you need at least 10-15 mins from dropoff point to/from either international arrivals or domestic departures - and at least 20 mins to/from Domestic Terminal. People who need more time (those with children or the elderly) should arrange for special transportation.
 
The on-Airport Holiday Inn Resort Balihai is in close vicinity of the Airport terminals and offers among its services conference and business-related facilities.

The passenger terminal complex at Bali Ngurah Rai International consists of an International & a Domestic Terminal. (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)
 
Parking facilities at Bali Ngurah Rai Airport offer over 1,000 parking spaces (but read 'Important Notice' above).

To get from Ngurah Rai Airport to your destination, you have the choice of taking a taxi, public buses or shared-ride shuttles ('bernos'), courtesy shuttles or luxury limousines.
Try to use a pre-paid airport taxi, available to the left of the terminal exit; otherwise check the fares posted outside the terminal and make sure the taxi meter is running. 
The Sarbagita Bus Sytem is extending its route with ten new buses - serving Bali's capital city Denpasar.

Present & Future Airport Developments: 
1. The first phase of a four-phase Airport expansion program - started in early 2012 - was to be completed by May 2013 (the new domestic terminal will have 65,800 square meters, while the international terminal will have 129,000 sqm and the entire terminal areas will cover 190,000 squae meters, and accommodate up to 20 million passengers a year.
2. Construction of the Benoa-Nusa Dua - a 12-km toll road - and the Dewa Ruci underpass, both designed to reduce traffic congestion, are scheduled to be completed by May 2013, in time for the APEC Summit there.
3. A second airport at Bali is to be built 15 km east of the regional capital of Singaraja, to service the north & east of Bali. The coastal site for the new airport is located in Kubutambahan at Buleleng.
