Getting to Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA)
Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA)
Delegates and guests attending IPPA23 will arrive via Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA), the primary international airport and main gateway to the city of Yogyakarta and surrounding region. The airport is located approximately 45 kilometres from the city centre, providing convenient access to the congress venue in Universitas Gadjah Mada, various accommodation options and attractions. There are several convenient options for travelling to central Yogyakarta and nearby accommodation precincts. Travel times may vary depending on traffic conditions, destination, and time of day. Delegates are encouraged to plan their airport transfers in advance, particularly if arriving during peak travel periods.

Domestic and International Flight Connections
Delegates travelling from within Indonesia will find frequent connections from major cities, while international visitors can access Yogyakarta through direct services and connecting flights from key regional hubs. We recommend checking with your preferred airline or travel agent for the latest schedules and travel options when planning your attendance at IPPA23.
Travel to Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM)
Travel to Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM)
Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is approximately 45-50 kilometres from YIA. Travel time is typically between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions. We recommend allowing additional travel time during peak periods and arranging airport transfers in advance where possible.

The Airport Rail Link offers a convenient connection between YIA and the city of Yogyakarta. Services operate between YIA and Yogyakarta Station (Tugu Station), with a journey time of approximately 35-40 minutes.
