Komodo Airport - What to Expect

Komodo Airport is the gateway to the world-famous Komodo National Park, home to the Komodo dragon - the largest living lizard on Earth. The tiny airport sits just 2 km from the harbor town of Labuan Bajo on the western tip of Flores island. Almost every visitor is heading to a liveaboard boat or a day trip to Komodo Island and the stunning Pink Beach. A pre-booked transfer to your hotel or the pier takes just minutes but saves hassle on arrival.

Komodo Airport has been expanded to handle the growing tourism to Komodo National Park. The terminal is small but modern, and the town is minutes away.

Getting from LBJ to Labuan Bajo

Ground transport from Komodo Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at LBJ:

  • Pre-booked private transfer - fixed price from $5, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
  • Airport taxi - official airport taxis may charge inflated fixed prices. Check if a taxi cooperative controls this airport.
  • Ride-hailing apps - Grab and Gojek operates in Labuan Bajo but airport pickup zones may be away from arrivals.
  • Public transport - may include local buses or shuttles, but service can be infrequent and confusing for first-time visitors.

Taxi vs Ride Apps vs Public Transport at LBJ
