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 Yaoundé
Yaoundé is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport (NSI), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,155-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport | NSI | 17 km (11 mi) | 11,155 ft | 2,278 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,642 km (6,613 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
