While many international routes have shifted to Kertajati International Airport, BDO remains a convenient domestic gateway for Bandung and the surrounding highlands.
💡 Local Tip
Because BDO is a joint civil-military airfield, avoid photographing military aircraft, hangars, or restricted areas; security may ask you to delete such photos.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to downtown Bandung, so taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek are the most practical options; use the official taxi counter or designated app pickup area. Allow extra time during morning and evening rush hours and rainy afternoons, as roads around Jalan Pajajaran can be heavily congested. Public buses and angkot serve nearby stops, but they are less convenient if you have luggage.
