Ngurah Rai International Airport (IATA: DPS, ICAO: WADD), also known as Denpasar International Airport, is located in southern Bali, 13 km south of Denpasar. It is Indonesia's third-busiest international airport, after Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Surabaya's Juanda International Airport. The airport is located close to the extensive tourist developments of southern Bali; the resort center of Kuta is 2.5 km north of the airport. The airport was previously determined by Transportation Security Administration of the United States of America in 2005 as not meeting the security standards of the International Civil Aviation Administration,[1] however this warning was lifted on 2007-10-11.[2].
This airport is collecting an Airport Improvement Fee of Rp 150,000 per traveller (approximately $17 USD / €12) upon departure. Passengers have to pay cash in Rupiah. Many international travellers also have to pay for an entry visa on-arrival. This costs US$10 for a 7 day stay, and US$25 for a 30 day stay and must be paid in cash[3]. The visas are non-extendable and cannot be converted. There are also a number of countries that require a visa to be organised before arrival, or do not require a visa at all. A list is available here. This is applicable to Indonesia in general and is not specific to Bali.
- Domestic Arrival and Departure Terminal Area: 9.039 m²
- International Arrival and Departure Terminal Area: 28.630 m²
- The parking area is 38.358 m².
- The total terminal area is 265.60 Ha.
The Domestic Terminal is located in the old building, while the International Terminal is located in the L shaped terminal. The airport has 17 gates: 3 in the Domestic Terminal, and 14 in the International Terminal. The Domestic Terminal has 35 check in counters, and 2 baggage carousels.
A new airport is proposed to change Ngurah Rai airport in Jembrana regency in western Bali[4].
