Flights to Surabaya
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Surabaya is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Juanda International Airport (SUB), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport (MLG, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Juanda International Airport | SUB | 15 km (9 mi) | 9,843 ft | 9 ft |
| Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport (regional) | MLG | 76 km (47 mi) | 8,202 ft | 1,726 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, SUB handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 9 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
