Kemayoran Airport

Kemayoran Airport

Kemayoran Airport, also spelled Kemajoran Airport, was the principal airport for Jakarta, Indonesia, until 1985, when it was replaced by Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

International flights were temporarily moved to Halim Pendanasukuma Air Force Base in 1975, and Kemajoran closed completely in 1985 when the present airport at Cengkareng opened.The runways at Kemajoran now form wide boulevards in central Jakarta.Kemajoran closed due to crowded airspace, and it is also rather close to Halim Pendanasukuma.

DC-8s of KLM and Japan Airlines operated to Kemajoran in the 1960s and early 1970s, as did Garuda Indonesia's Convair 990s.

Popular culture

Kemajoran Airport is the setting for the beginning of the Tintin adventure, Flight 714, by Hergé.
