Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport (BPN) serves Balikpapan as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines.

The airport lies about 15–20 km northwest of downtown Balikpapan; taxis and app-based ride services generally take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and cost around IDR 70,000–150,000, while airport shuttles and hotel transfers can be cheaper or included. Pros: modern facilities and steady connectivity across Kalimantan and Java; cons: travel times to some suburbs and occasional peak-hour congestion.
