Yogyakarta International Airport

Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA), opened in 2019, is a modern single-terminal airport serving the Yogyakarta region from Kulon Progo and quickly became the region’s main international gateway. Comfortable and medium-sized, YIA handles both domestic and growing international traffic and is designed to accommodate wide-body jets for holiday and cultural tourism to nearby Borobudur and Prambanan. The airport sits about 40–45 km from central Yogyakarta and is linked by shuttle buses, taxis, private car and ongoing rail-link plans that shorten travel time to the city. Generally budget-friendly with many low-cost flights, YIA is a key base for Lion Air Group alongside regular services by Garuda Indonesia and Citilink.
