Adisoemarmo Airport (IATA: SOC, ICAO: WAHQ) is a domestic airport serving Surakarta, the second-largest city in Central Java, Indonesia, as well as the surrounding areas. The airport is actually not located within Surakarta’s city limits; it is situated in Boyolali Regency, approximately 14 km north of downtown Surakarta. It serves as the primary airport for Surakarta, as well as the broader Greater Solo region. The airport is named after Adi Soemarmo Wirjokusumo, an Indonesian Air Force officer and national hero of Indonesia. Adisumarmo Airport primarily offers flights to Jakarta, with additional services to other major cities such as Denpasar. In the past, it operated international routes to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, but these were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the continued lack of regular international traffic, the airport's international status was officially revoked in 2024. Despite this, it continues to operate seasonal flights to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to accommodate Hajj pilgrims traveling to Mecca.
In addition to functioning as a commercial airport, Adisoemarmo also hosts Adisoemarmo Air Force Base, a Type A facility of the Indonesian Air Force. While the base does not serve as the home station for any combat squadrons, it operates primarily as a training center for future Air Force cadets. The base is also responsible for overseeing air defense operations in Surakarta and the surrounding region.
