Jenderal Ahmad Yani Airport (SRG/WAHS) is the main airport serving Semarang, Central Java, located about 6 km west of the city center. Named after Indonesian national hero General Ahmad Yani, it opened a modern terminal in 2018 with expanded capacity and Javanese-inspired design. It handles domestic flights across Indonesia and limited international services, serving as a key gateway to Central Java.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is compact and efficient, so after security the gates are a short walk; you don't need to arrive excessively early. For a true taste of Semarang, eat lumpia or tahu gimbal in the city before heading to the airport, as post-security food options are limited.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Semarang, so taxis and ride-hailing apps (Grab/Gojek) are the most convenient options; expect 15-30 minutes to the city center depending on traffic. Public buses such as Trans Semarang may serve the airport, but check current routes and schedules. If using a taxi, insist on the meter or agree on a fare before departure, and allow extra time during rush hours.
