About Komodo International Airport
Komodo International Airport is the main air gateway to Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park on the western tip of Flores, in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province. It primarily handles domestic flights connecting the region with Bali, Jakarta and other Indonesian cities, along with a limited number of international services.
The airport began as a small airstrip in 1975 and received a modern passenger terminal inaugurated in December 2015. The terminal serves both domestic and international passengers within a single compact building, making arrival and departure relatively straightforward for travelers heading to liveaboard boats, hotels and tour operators around Labuan Bajo.
Located about 2 km from the centre of Labuan Bajo, the airport is a short drive from the town, the harbour and many nearby hotels. Travelers typically continue by taxi, private transfer, hotel shuttle or rental car, with the main port for Komodo National Park boat trips only minutes away.
With cafés, shops, a prayer room, waiting areas and other passenger facilities, Komodo Airport functions as the practical entry point for visitors exploring Komodo National Park, Rinca Island and the wider Flores region.
