A second facility, Adisucipto Airport (JOG), previously handled most commercial traffic but has been largely replaced by YIA for scheduled flights. Travelers heading to YIA from the city center can choose from several transport options including the airport train, DAMRI bus, taxi, and ride-hailing services.
