About Yogyakarta International Airport
Yogyakarta International Airport (IATA: YIA, ICAO: WAHI) is an international airport located at Temon district of Kulon Progo Regency, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The airport is located approximately 45 km (28 mi) from the city of Yogyakarta, serving both the Yogyakarta Special Region and nearby Central Javan cities such as Purworejo, Kebumen, Cilacap, and Magelang. It functions as the primary gateway to Yogyakarta and its surrounding areas, including popular tourist destinations like Borobudur Temple. As the largest of three airports in the Yogyakarta Special Region, It is the largest of the three airports in the Yogyakarta Special Region, along with Adisutjipto Airport, which was formerly the main airport and is located closer to the Yogyakarta city center, and Gading Airfield in Wonosari, Gunung Kidul Regency, which is used exclusively as a military base. The airport is operated by InJourney Airports, formerly Angkasa Pura I.
The airport offers domestic flights to major Indonesian cities such as Jakarta, Denpasar, Balikpapan, and Makassar, as well as international routes to destinations including Malaysia and Singapore. The airport was developed to replace the overcapacity Adisutjipto Airport, which could not be expanded due to limited land and its proximity to densely populated areas. Partial operations began on 6 May 2019 with the arrival of a Citilink flight from Jakarta's Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport. Full operations commenced on 29 March 2020, with all scheduled commercial flights—except turboprop, cargo, and other non-commercial services—relocated from the old airport.
