Dhoho International Airport (DHX/WARD) is a new airport in Kediri Regency, East Java, Indonesia, opened in 2024 to serve the western and southern East Java region. Built by PT Surya Dhoho Investama, it features a modern terminal and a 3,300-meter runway designed for narrow- and wide-body aircraft. It aims to boost connectivity for Kediri, Blitar, Madiun, Nganjuk, and Tulungagung while reducing reliance on Surabaya's Juanda airport.
💡 Local Tip
Kediri is famous for tahu takwa and pecel; eat in town before your flight because terminal dining options are still limited. On clear days, ask for a window seat on the south side for views of Mount Kelud and the Wilis mountains.
🚖 Getting There
Use official taxis, ride-hailing apps, or airport shuttle buses from Kediri city center and nearby towns; agree on the fare or use the meter. There is no train station at the airport, so plan a road transfer. If you are coming from Surabaya or Malang, allow 2.5–4 hours by car depending on traffic.
