Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta CGK Airport Overview

Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport CGK - also referred to as SHIA or Soetta - and by Indonesians as 'Cengkareng' - and operated by PT Angkasa Pura II - is the Republic of Indonesia's busiest airport ((followed by Juanda and Ngurah Rai airports). It has been voted as having the most on-time flights.

The Airport is located in Tangeran, Banten, 20 km from the capital City of Jakarta, on the densely-populated island of Java, Indonesia, and is accessible from Jakarta's city center by the Soedyatmo Expressway and by rail from the Manggarai station, Jakarta' central station.

With two very long runways and an estimated 53.7 milion passengers in 2012, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

NOTE: Unless you are using the new rail service, it is strongly recommended that you allow at least one hour to get to the airport from central Jakarta. However, after 4pm on any day, but especially a Friday, allow 90 minutes. Coming into Jakarta from another city, try to arrive after 9am to avoid the rush hour, as morning commute from the Airport to Jakarta can take 2-3 hrs due frequent flooding, roadwork, etc., and the fact that there is only one road leading into the City.

On-Airport Hotels: (a) The Jakarta Airport Hotel is on level 2 of Terminal 2, between Concourses D & F (entrance at east end of complex). (b) The Sasana Angkasa Transit Hotel is in Terminal 1A
 
The passenger terminal complex at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta Airport consists at present of three main terminals - T1, T2 & T3.   Terminal expansion and renovation on T2 & T3 started in 2012, are to be completed between 2013 & 2015. (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Parking options at Soekarno-Hatta Airport:  While parking lots at the Airport are available, be advised that such lots are many a times filled to capacity.

To get from Soekarno-Hatta Airport to your destination, you can rent a car, take a taxi (taking 30-45 mins on a good day), a bus or the train. Bus route information is available at all terminals in the arrivals area. There are two pus routes into central Jakarta. To get to the Gambir railway station from Jakarta's center it takes another 70 minutes on average. : one run by DAMRI and the other by CIPAGANTI, both run 4am-7pm. and stop at the termnals' departure areas. All buses use the Sedyatmo Toll Road.
DAMRI bus links the airport with Rawamangun, Blok M, Gambier Station, Bekasi, Depok, Lebak Bulus, Tanjung Priok, Kemayoran, Kampung Rambutan, Pasar Minggu, Serang, Merak, Cikarang & Bogor.
Primajasa also runs a route from/to Bandung-Soekarno Hatta Airport.
Currently south of the Airport is the Banggarai train station at South Jakarta; it is intended to build a connector from this station into the Airport - a 9-mile distance, to be operational by 2014/15, which would enable passengers to get from the Airport to Manggarai, Tangerang, Banten.

Present & Future Airport Developments:  (According to the JakartaGlobe)
1. The Airport is getting a $1.37 billion face-lift - intended to make Soekarno-Hatta a world-class airport by 2015.  Ground breaking was July 2012, and the first phase of construction will include expansion of Terminal 3, access road, & integrated building linking all 3 terminals - schedule to be completed by the end of 2014.  An automated transportation system will link terminals, shopping mall and hotel. Upon completion of the expansion project the airport should be able to handle 60 million passengers per annum.
2. The commuter rail lines connecting to the airport are expected to be operational by 2013 - one line linking Manggarai in S.Jakarta to Tangerang in Banten province before heading north to the airport.  The other line will stretch from Manggarai through Pluit in North Jakarta before going west to the airport.
3. Furthermore, work will start in 2013 on a monorail service connecting Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang with the neighboring city of South Tangerang.  A total of 14 shelters (including shelters at Terminals 1,2 & 3) are planned along the monorail line, to connect the Airport and the subdistrict of Serpong in South Tangerang.
