About Yogyakarta International Airport
Yogyakarta International Airport (IATA: YIA, ICAO: WAHI) is an international airport located at Temon district of Kulon Progo Regency, in Java, Indonesia. The airport is situated around 45 km (28 mi) from the city of Yogyakarta, which serves the Yogyakarta Special Region, as well as nearby Central Javan cities such as Purworejo, Kebumen, Cilacap and Magelang. It is the largest and one of the three airports in the Yogyakarta Special Region, the other being Adisutjipto Airport which is located closer to the Yogyakarta city center and Gading Airfield in Wonosari, Gunung Kidul Regency.
