Juanda International Airport (SUB/WARR) is the main gateway to Surabaya and East Java, located in Sedati, Sidoarjo Regency, about 20 km south of central Surabaya. Named after Indonesian statesman Djuanda Kartawidjaja, it opened in 1964 and has grown into one of Indonesia's busiest airports, with Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international services. It is a key hub for travel to Mount Bromo, Malang, and other East Java destinations.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent travelers often use the airport's location to their advantage: if your destination is Malang or southern East Java, arrange pickup directly from Juanda instead of going into Surabaya first, saving an hour or more.
🚖 Getting There
Use official taxi counters or ride-hailing apps from designated pickup zones; DAMRI buses connect to Bungurasih bus terminal and other Surabaya points. Allow 30–60 minutes to central Surabaya, more in peak traffic, and consider pre-booking a transfer if heading to Malang or Bromo. For domestic flights, Terminal 1 is the usual departure point; check your terminal before leaving.
