Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Indonesian: Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta) (IATA: CGKICAO: WIII) is the principal airport serving the greater Jakarta area on the island of Java, Indonesia. The airport is named after the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, and the first vice-president, Mohammad Hatta. The airport is often called Cengkareng by Indonesians. Its IATA code, CGK is originated from the word Cengkareng.

The airport is located about 20 km west of Jakarta, in Tangerang Regency, Banten. The airport became operational in 1985, replacing the former Kemayoran Airport (domestic flights) in Central Jakarta, and Halim Perdanakusuma in East Jakarta. Kemayoran Airport had since closed. Halim Perdanakusuma is still operating, serving mostly charters and military flights. The terminal 2 was opened in 1992.

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 two cross taxiways. There are two main terminal buildings: Terminal 1 is for all domestic services except for flights operated by 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. Terminal 1A, 1B, and 1C are used for (mostly) domestic flights by Indonesian airlines. Terminal 1A served flights by Lion Air, Wings Air and Indonesia AirAsia.

Terminal 2D and 2E are used to serve all international flights by international airlines. Terminal 2D are for all international airlines served by PT Jasa Angkasa Semesta, one of the ground handlers in the airport. Terminal 2E are for all international airlines served by Garuda, including all international flights of Garuda Merpati. Terminal 2F are for Garuda Indonesia and Merpati Nusantara Airlines domestic flights.

The airport was designed by the French architect Paul Andreu, who also designed 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, 30 baggage carousels and 42 gates. Each sub-terminal has 25 check-in counters, 5 baggage carrousels and 7 gates.

Angkasa Pura II currently plan to build a new terminal with modern design features. Terminal 3 is build for low-cost carriers. There is a masterplan to make 5 passenger terminals + 1 hajj terminal and 4 runways.

In 2009 the airport will be connected to Manggarai Station (future Jakarta central station) by a railway.

Between 19281974, the Kemayoran Airfield intended for domestic flight was considered too close in the proximity of the Indonesian military airfield, Halim Perdanakusuma. The civil airspace in the area became narrow, while air traffic increased rapidly, which risked international air traffic.
