CGK - AirportBandung
BDO - SeaportTanjung Priok
Bandung's Husein Sastranegara Airport (BDO) now handles mainly turboprop flights, after most jet services moved in 2023 to Kertajati International Airport (KJT) in Majalengka, north-east of the city. For international air freight, Bandung shippers mostly use Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Jakarta, reached by toll road. Bandung has no seaport; sea freight runs through Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, which is also reached via the toll road network.
The Cipularang toll road and the Purbaleunyi toll road link Bandung with Jakarta and the Jakarta-Cikampek corridor, while the Cisumdawu toll road connects the city with Kertajati. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway carries passengers, but freight moves by road. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Bandung, Cimahi and the textile districts of the Bandung regency.

Ziem Logistics supports these supply chains with air freight via CGK on our own air waybills, Next Flight Out for urgent parts, On-Board Couriers for aerospace components or samples, and FCL or LCL sea freight via Tanjung Priok. Customs clearance is handled by a partner team in the Ziem network, under the Ziem Logistics brand and to our procedures.
Time-critical air freight in Bandung
For time-critical shipments we compare two options: Next Flight Out via Jakarta (CGK) on the first suitable flight, or an On-Board Courier who hand-carries the goods to the Bandung area. In both cases the customs entries are prepared in advance.
Booked directly with the airline
For Indonesia we issue the air waybill ourselves. The booking, the shipment data and the advance cargo information come from one desk, which reduces handovers and keeps the documents consistent.
