Airports at each end
Leaving Jakarta
Jakarta is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK, 23 km).
Arriving in Bouaké
Bouaké is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Bouaké Airport (BYK), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,827-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bouaké Airport (regional) | BYK | 7 km (4 mi) | 10,827 ft | 1,230 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 12,502 km (7,768 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
