How much do flights to Medan cost?

Getting from Medan's airport to the city center

Medan is served by Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), located approximately 39 km southeast of the city center. As the main gateway to North Sumatra, the airport offers several airport transfers to city center options including the dedicated Airport Railink train, DAMRI buses, taxis, ride-hailing services, and private transfers. Journey times vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, particularly during peak hours when congestion on the main roads can extend travel times considerably.

Notes:

  • Prices in IDR; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • The Airport Railink train is the most reliable option for avoiding traffic delays on the busy Medan-Kualanamu corridor.
  • Ride-hailing pickup points are located at designated areas outside the terminal; follow airport signage.
  • Traffic congestion can significantly extend journey times, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
