Airports, seaports and connections in Jakarta
- AirportSoekarno-Hatta
CGK - SeaportTanjung Priok
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), in Tangerang west of Jakarta, is Indonesia's busiest airport and its main air cargo gateway, with a large cargo area handling international and domestic freight. Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP) in east Jakarta serves mainly domestic and charter flights. Sea freight runs through Tanjung Priok, the country's main container port, which includes terminals such as Jakarta International Container Terminal and the newer New Priok Container Terminal 1 at Kalibaru. Jakarta is therefore the starting point for most international air and sea freight to and from western Java.
The Jakarta-Cikampek toll road and its elevated section connect Tanjung Priok and Jakarta with the industrial belt of Bekasi, Cikarang and Karawang, while the Jakarta Outer Ring Road and the airport toll road link CGK with the port. The Cikarang Dry Port provides an inland container facility close to the factories. The Trans-Java toll network runs east to Central and East Java. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Greater Jakarta.
