Soekarno-Hatta International Airport's Terminal One

Inside Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Indonesian: Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta) (IATA: CGK, ICAO: WIII) is the principal airport serving the greater Jakarta area on the island of Java, Indonesia. It is located about 20 km west of Jakarta, in Tangerang Regency, Banten. The airport became operational in 1985 and the terminal 2 was opened in 1992, replacing the former Kemayoran Airport (domestic flights) in Central Jakarta, and Halim Perdanakusuma (international flights; still operating) in East Jakarta. The airport is often called Cengkareng by Indonesians. Its IATA code, CGK is from Cengkareng.

The land area of the airport is 18 km². It has two independent parallel runways separated by a distance of 2,400 m connected by a cross taxiway. There are two main terminal buildings: Terminal 1 is for all domestic services apart from Garuda Indonesia and Merpati Nusantara Airlines, and Terminal 2 serves all international flights as well as all domestic flights by Garuda and Merpati Nusantara Airlines. Each terminal building is separated into 3 concourses. There are Terminal 1A, 1B, and 1C serving (mostly) domestic flights by Indonesian airlines. Terminal 1A served flights by Sempati Air, but Sempati Air ceased since the Asian Monetary Crisis 1998. While terminal 2D and 2E serving all international flights by international airlines (all Garuda Indonesia international flights and Indonesian airlines international flight are from terminal 2E) and terminal 2F for Garuda Indonesia and Merpati Nusantara Airlines domestic flights.

The airport is named after the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, and the first vice-president, Mohammad Hatta.

The airport was designed by a French architect Paul Andreu, who also designed the collapsed Terminal 2E at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. One of the major characteristics of this airport is the incorporation of the local vernacular architecture into the design, and the presence of tropical gardens in between the waiting lounges. However, due to poor maintenance, not too strategic location and lack of budget, the airport is inferior to many international airports in the region.

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has 150 check in counters. Each sub-terminal has 25 check in counters. Each sub-terminal has 5 baggage carousels. So, Soekarno-Hatta Int'l Airport has 30 baggage carousels.

Now Angkasa Pura II is planning to build a new terminal with modern design. Terminal 3 is build for low-cost carriers. Some rumours say that terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Int'l Airport is going to be used by A380. Maybe someday, Emirates, Etihad, and Singapore Airlines will fly to Jakarta with A380. There is a masterplan to make 5 passenger terminals + 1 hajj terminal and 4 runways.

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport will connected to Manggarai Station (future Jakarta central station) by a railway. And the railway will ready to work in 2009. The builder of the railway itself is PT Railink. A subsidiary of PT KAI Kereta Api Indonesia.
