Malikus Saleh Airport

Malikus Saleh Airport, serving Lhokseumawe and North Aceh, was established in the late 1980s and operates a single small passenger terminal that handles regional traffic; it’s a compact but important gateway to Indonesia’s northeast Aceh region. The airport is best known for short domestic routes and links to Medan and Banda Aceh, with road access about 10 km from Lhokseumawe city center via taxis, local shuttles and private transfers—public transport is limited but straightforward. Not a major international hub, it mainly hosts regional and low-cost carriers (examples include Wings Air and Susi Air), and fares are generally affordable for budget-minded travelers.
