Adisutjipto International Airport (JOG) is a historic airport in Yogyakarta, located about 6 km east of the city center near Prambanan Temple. Named after Indonesian aviation pioneer Agustinus Adisutjipto, it served as the region's main gateway for decades before Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) took over most commercial flights. Today it remains an active military airbase and handles limited commercial and general aviation operations.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know that Maguwo Station, just a short walk from the terminal, can be faster and cheaper than a taxi to central Yogyakarta, especially when traffic is heavy. If you have time, Prambanan Temple is only about 5 km away, making a quick pre-flight visit feasible.
🚖 Getting There
Use ride-hailing apps or a metered taxi from the arrivals area; agree on the fare or confirm via app before departing. The adjacent Maguwo railway station offers frequent train connections to Yogyakarta Tugu and Solo, often bypassing road traffic. Allow extra time during peak hours, as the airport is close to a busy road and the Prambanan area.
