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 Cayenne
Cayenne is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport (CAY), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 10,486-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport | CAY | 13 km (8 mi) | 10,486 ft | 26 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 17,707 km (11,002 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
