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.
