Soek- arno-Hatta International Airport is often called Cengkareng by In- donesians, after the sub-district where it is located. Its IATA code “CGK” originates from the name Cengkareng. The airport is locat- ed approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Jakarta city center and is accessible via a toll road. All international flights to and from Jakarta arrive and depart from Terminal 2 (D, E, & F) of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport lo- cated in Cengkareng, West Jakarta. In Jakarta, domestic flights by Garuda (GA) and Merpati (MZ) airlines arrive and depart from Terminal 2. Other airlines’ domestic flights arrive and depart from Terminal 1. In Jakarta, the three terminals are distant and isolated from each other, and ground transport between them has to be used for connections and transfers.
