Always love going to Soekarno-Hatta as the variations of airlines is vast, even though the traffic to and from the airports is always terrible during afternoon till night. Good photos there, keep them coming.

Hehehehe.....actually my driver know the way. We have to go to the small village right next to the runway. If you happened to come to Jakarta, I'll let you know the way.

Agree. The traffic is horrible, but then again after you see Singapore Airlines 777 landing just meters away from you......is totally worthed.

Waiping, you rent a motorbike taxi in the vicinity of CGK, all drivers know the way to take you to the kampung opposite of the Terminal T2. Some security guy may ask you if u stand too long close to the wired fence, but u can make some "qan xi" like my friend Nguyen Phuong has done (Nguyen had been to 6th MW anniversary).

Here is the link to his trip report (in Vietnamese :nea: !) just watch the photos of the location.

Sharing some photos from my recent trips through Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta airport (CGK/WIII). :D

 

Garuda Indonesia

 

The national carrier had recently adopted a green version of its 'Nature's Wings' livery for its Citilink subsidiary.

 

Garuda Indonesia had leased a number of A320-200 from GECAS for use on its Citilink routes. PK-GLD was photographed after pushing back from her gate at Terminal 1C. (Citilink operates from Terminal 1C while the rest of Garuda Indonesia's domestic routes operate from Terminal 2F).

PK-GLD_MW.jpg

 

Many Singaporean spotters would no doubt be very familiar with this B737-300 PK-GGN which had since been transferred from mainline service to the carrier's Citilink operations.

PK-GGN_MW.jpg

 

PK-GCC wears a unique livery to promote the Citilink subsidiary.

PK-GCC_MW.jpg

 

B747-400 PK-GSI at Terminal 2E.

PK-GSI_MW-1.jpg

 

Pullmantur Air B747-400 EC-KSM was leased by Garuda Indonesia for the 2011 Haj charters and wore a hybrid livery. Apologies for the weird colour tint and quality as this was shot out of an apron bus with extremely tinted windows.

EC-KSM_MW.jpg

 

Lion Air

 

Lion Air has a huge presence at CGK...perhaps even more than Garuda Indonesia with its endless waves of B737-900ERs hogging the taxiways and runways. The airline also occupies Terminal 1A, part of Terminal 1B and also conducts its international flights from Terminal 2E.

JT_lineup_MW.jpg

 

B737-900ER PK-LFQ taxiing to her parking position at Terminal 1A with the rather rustic looking airfreight terminal in the background.

PK-LFQ_s8.jpg

 

Lion Air still retains a sizeable fleet of B737 classics such as B737-400 PK-LIT as shown below. The B737 classics are still indispensible as there are a number of Indonesian airports that cannot accept the newer B739ERs due to runway loading and/or runway length limitations.

PK-LIT_MW.jpg

 

MD-90 PK-LIO was photographed in a very sorry state with her twin engines and plyons removed. It might be very possible that she would not take to the skies again and join the ranks of other abandoned classics that are languishing in various states of disrepair at the remote stands.

PK-LIO_MW.jpg

 

Sriwijaya Air

 

Sriwijaya Air is perhaps one of the most interesting airlines for aviation enthusiasts as they still operate a number of B737-200s. It is simply a treat to hear the shrill whine of the old JT8Ds at the Terminal 1B open air viewing deck!

SJ_Lineup_MW.jpg

 

B737-200Adv PK-CJO

PK-CJO_MW.jpg

 

Sriwijaya Air had been replacing the venerable B732s with newer B733s and B734s over the past few years (with B735s to come that will soon sound the death knell of the B732's loyal service with the airline). B737-300 PK-CKI has additional 'I "love" Papua' sticker on the fuselage.

PK-CKI_MW.jpg

 

Trigana Air

B737-200Adv PK-YSD taxiing to her parking spot at Terminal 1C.

PK-YSD_MW.jpg

 

Batavia Air

B737-300 PK-YVK wears the carrier's striking new livery.

PK-YVK_MW.jpg

 

Republic Express

B737-200C PK-RPI looks to be in urgent need of attention!

PK-RPI_MW.jpg

 

Virgin Blue

This Virgin Blue ERJ-190 VH-ZPO came as a complete surprise as CGK is definitely not one of their destinations currently!

Thanks for reading! :)

Did you manage to shoot from the apron or the viewing decks?

Thanks, flee :)

 

Some of the photos such as the Garuda Citilink aircraft were shot from the viewing deck, while the rest were shot through the window of the aircraft I was on as it taxiied around the airport.

Excellent coverage of CGK !!!

 

Somehow it's a 'forgotten' airport amongst our Asian spotters :(

 

Good to see some shots again: thanks for sharing !!! :good:

Hello everybody, I am Nguyen, a new comer. "Nguyenphuong" is my username on Jetphotos and Airliners.

 

I had 2 spotting days last February at CGK/WIII and to me this is a very interesting spotting location. Spotter can easily get there alone by motobike taxi with cheap price. Traffic is very busy whole day. People living nearby spotting location are friendly. Airport fence seems to be designed by a spotter :-)

 

Thanks for all your comments to my report though it is in Vietnamese.

sriwijaya's PK CLD is 2nd of the 735 I believe. They're revamping their aircrafts and offering Business Class now especially on those new 735s and 738. Gosh I miss Jakarta and Indonesian airlines,colorful liveries,classic aircrafts..
