I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar Bali (WADD) in Pictures

I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, Bali (WADD) is also a semi-military airport. But unlike Halim which is a base of a few squadrons of Indonesian air force fighters, Bali airport is much more civilian than military due to its tourism industry. Being the second busiest airport in Indonesia, with around four hundred movements per day on a single runway, Bali is not a slot friendly airport. As opposed to parking space, obtaining desired slots are much bigger a challenge than obtaining parking bays. Hence, please submit arrival and departure slots early when planning to come to Bali.

The GAT (general aviation terminal) in Bali, being the only GAT in Indonesia, will provide you with the best and most comfortable airport experience in Indonesia. Situated opposite, far away from the main airport terminals, with its own car entrance, it allows you to enjoy a flawless flight experience and keeps your privacy at the same time.
