El Aeropuerto Internacional Soekarno-Hatta es el principal aeropuerto de Indonesia y el más transitado del sudeste asiático por número de pasajeros. Ubicado en Tangerang, provincia de Banten, a unos 20 kilómetros al noroeste del centro de Yakarta, el aeropuerto se inauguró en 1985 y lleva el nombre de los dos primeros líderes de Indonesia. CGK maneja más de 67 millones de pasajeros al año a través de tres terminales principales. La Terminal 3, inaugurada en 2016, es una instalación moderna que sirve a Garuda Indonesia y a otros operadores internacionales, mientras que las Terminales 1 y 2 atienden tanto vuelos nacionales como internacionales de diversas aerolíneas. El aeropuerto es el centro de operaciones de Garuda Indonesia, la aerolínea de bandera, y de Lion Air, la mayor aerolínea de bajo coste del país. El Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link ofrece servicio exprés hasta la estación central de Yakarta, y diversos servicios de autobús y taxi conectan el aeropuerto con la zona metropolitana. Dos pistas de aterrizaje paralelas gestionan un elevado volumen de operaciones. El aeropuerto ha experimentado mejoras significativas en los últimos años para atender al rápido crecimiento de la aviación en Indonesia, uno de los mercados aéreos con mayor expansión del mundo, impulsado por la extensa geografía insular del país y su creciente clase media.
