Kertajati International Airport (IATA: KJT, ICAO: WICA) is an international airport serving the Greater Bandung and Cirebon metropolitan areas, as well as parts of the West Java and Central Java provinces, Indonesia. It is one of the two largest airports in Indonesia by land area, alongside Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. Located in Majalengka Regency, the airport is approximately 68 kilometres (42 mi) east of Bandung.
The airport began operations on 24 May 2018 when the Indonesia One presidential aircraft landed at the airport. A grand opening took place in July 2019. The new airport is supposed to function as a reliever airport for Soekarno Hatta, providing additional spillover capacity. Upon completion, the airport will have a total capacity of 29 million passengers annually, with additional space for expansion. The airport planned to operate cargo terminals with an official estimate of 1.5 million tons of cargo by 2020.
The airport was "mostly deserted" after opening, leading the government to mandate that all flights to Bandung must operate from the new airport.
