It’s located about 10–15 km northeast of the city center, with road transfers usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services are common, while airport shuttles and private cars can be more economical. Fares to downtown are generally modest compared with larger Indonesian hubs, though prices can vary by provider and time of day. Pros include a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal and regular flight options; downsides can be congestion during peak periods and fewer direct long-haul connections than major national hubs.

Pros across these airports include direct international connections and multiple ground-transport choices; cons can be distance from the center and variable transfer times depending on Moscow traffic and peak hours.
