Yogyakarta International Airport (IATA: YIA, ICAO: WAHI) is
an international airport located in
the 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.[3] It
functions as the primary gateway to Yogyakarta and its surrounding areas,
including popular tourist destinations like Borobudur Temple.
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.[4]
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 of 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.[5][6][7] 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.[8]
