Should you be planning a visit to Jakarta or passing through Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (often called Cengkareng by Indonesians), you will find that the official website for the airport is largely in Bahasa Indonesian. Moreover, the airport actually consists of three terminals which could confuse first time visitors. Hence, travelers should keep in mind the following terminal information:
- Terminal 1 is divided into 3 sub-terminals. Terminal 1A, 1B and 1C are used for domestic flights by various Indonesian airlines.
- Terminal 2 is also divided into 3 sub-terminals. Terminal 2D and 2E are for international flights while Terminal 2F is for domestic flights of Garuda Indonesia and Merpati Nusantara Airlines.
- Terminal 2D is for all international airlines serviced by PT Jasa Angkasa Semesta (one of the ground handlers for the airport).
- Terminal 2E and 2F are for all international airlines serviced by PT Gapura Angkasa (another ground handler for the airport).
- Terminal 3 Pier 1 was opened in 2009 and current flights operated by AirAsia and Mandala Airlines operate from the terminal. Eventually, Terminal 3 will include five piers.
In addition, Japan Airlines has created two videos that are posted on Youtube that show the international arrivals area to help assist passengers upon arrival. The videos includes subtitles in both Japanese and English and will further help to orientate first time visitors.
