I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (IATA: DPS, ICAO: WADD), commonly known as Bali Airport or Denpasar Airport, is the primary international gateway to the island of Bali, Indonesia. Located in Tuban, between Kuta and Jimbaran, approximately 13 kilometres (8 miles) southwest of Denpasar, the airport opened on 1 August 1968 and is operated by Angkasa Pura I.
Named after I Gusti Ngurah Rai, a Balinese national hero, DPS is the second-busiest airport in Indonesia after Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The airport serves as a major hub for Garuda Indonesia, Citilink, Lion Air, and Indonesia AirAsia, connecting Bali with destinations across Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and a vast domestic network.
In 2025, I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport served a total of 24,125,161 passengers. International passengers dominated traffic at 15,177,283 (63%), while domestic passengers numbered 8,947,878 (37%). Thirteen new international routes were activated during the year, including first-ever services from Newcastle (Australia), Cheongju (South Korea), Saigon (Vietnam), and Sichuan (China) . Foreign national arrivals reached 7.1 million, led by Australian passport holders at 1.67 million (23%), followed by India (584,000) and China (560,000).
The airport operates two passenger terminals in adjacent buildings: the International Terminal, which operates 24 hours, and the Domestic Terminal, which handles flights within the Indonesian archipelago and generally ceases operations overnight after the last scheduled arrival.
