Getting from Labuan Bajo airport to the city center

Fastest options: taxi or hotel shuttle. Best value: shared minivan or ojek (motorcycle taxi).

Labuan Bajo is served by Komodo Airport (LBJ), located approximately 2 km northwest of the town center. As the gateway to Komodo National Park and the stunning islands of Flores, this small airport offers limited but practical airport transfers to city center destinations. Transport options include taxis, hotel shuttles, shared minivans, ojek (motorcycle taxis), and private transfers. Due to the short distance, most journeys take under 15 minutes, though road conditions and traffic near the harbor area can cause slight delays.
