Juanda International Airport

Juanda International Airport opened in 1964 and today operates with two main terminal areas (domestic and international), serving as the primary gateway to Surabaya and East Java. As one of Indonesia’s busiest airports, Juanda handles a mix of domestic and regional flights and is known for efficient passenger flow despite its compact footprint. Located in Sidoarjo just outside Surabaya—roughly a 20–30 minute drive—the airport is easily reached by highway, taxi, shuttle buses and ride‑hail services, with limited local bus connections. Travelers generally find food and transport reasonably priced compared with larger hubs, and Juanda functions as a key base for Garuda Indonesia alongside significant operations from Lion Air and Citilink.
