Location

Jakarta, Indonesia

Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP) is a dual-use civil and military airport located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It serves as a secondary international gateway to the Indonesian capital, complementing the larger Soekarno-Hatta International Airport located in Tangerang. The airport has historically been associated with the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) and has hosted significant state and VIP flights over the decades. Commercial operations were expanded in the 2010s to help relieve congestion at Soekarno-Hatta, with low-cost carriers taking a notable presence. In early 2022, commercial flights were temporarily suspended to allow for runway renovation and expansion work, with operations resuming later that year. The airport continues to handle a mix of scheduled commercial, charter, and military flights.
