Bandung's gateway airport serving West Java, Indonesia.

Opened
1940
Location
Bandung, Indonesia
Husein Sastranegara International Airport is the primary commercial airport serving Bandung, the capital of West Java province and Indonesia's third-largest city. It is located approximately 5 kilometers northwest of Bandung's city center and sits within a military air base operated by the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU). The airport has historically served as a domestic hub with limited international routes, primarily connecting Bandung to destinations across Indonesia as well as select regional cities in Southeast Asia. Its shared military-civil status has placed constraints on expansion, and plans for a new dedicated civilian airport in the region have been under development. The airport is named after Husein Sastranegara, an Indonesian Air Force officer and national hero. Due to its location in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains, the airport faces topographical limitations that affect runway length and aircraft operations.
Terminals
The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and limited international flights.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options include taxis, ride-hailing services such as Gojek and Grab, and private vehicles, with no dedicated rail link to the city center.

Husein Sastranegara Airport
Encyclopaedia

Husein Sastranegara Airport is a domestic airport serving Bandung, the capital of West Java, Indonesia. It is located within the city, approximately 3.5 km from Bandung's city center. The airport is named after Husein Sastranegara, an Indonesian Air Force officer who died during the Indonesian National Revolution when his aircraft crashed in Yogyakarta. Prior to the opening of Kertajati International Airport, the airport served as an international gateway and the primary air entry point to Bandung and its surrounding regions. It handled domestic flights to major Indonesian cities such as Denpasar, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta, as well as international routes to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. However, following the inauguration of Kertajati Airport, most flights were relocated, leading to the suspension of international services and the revocation of its international status. As of July 2026, Husein Sastranegara Airport functions as a secondary airport for Bandung, handling only very limited commercial operations, with Susi Air serving as its sole airline operator. In 2026, the Indonesian government decided to reactivate the airport for scheduled commercial jet services, targeting limited jet operations from 17 August 2026 and full operations from 17 September 2026.
