It is in Teupin Gajah village, Pasie Raja district, South Aceh Regency, on the road between Tapaktuan and Medan. The airport serves the town of Tapaktuan.
The IATA code is TPK and the ICAO code is WIMT. The airport is also known locally as Bandara T. Cut Ali or Tapaktuan Airport.
Flights are limited. Service has mainly been a subsidised pioneer route to Banda Aceh, often around once a week, and it can change. Check the latest schedule before travelling.
Susi Air has operated the pioneer route between Tapaktuan and Banda Aceh using a Cessna Grand Caravan. Confirm current operations with the airline.
Flights use small aircraft with limited cargo space, so allowances are tight. Ask the airline for its current limit and pack light.
The asphalt runway is about 1,180 metres long and 30 metres wide, suited to small propeller aircraft.
There is a terminal of about 1,000 square metres, a mosque and basic operational buildings. Shops and food options are minimal.
Buses and shared cars travel the west coast road of Aceh from Banda Aceh, Meulaboh and Medan. Many travellers fly into a larger airport and continue by road.
Teuku Cut Ali Airport (TPK) is a small regional airport serving Tapaktuan, the main town of South Aceh Regency on the west coast of Aceh province, Indonesia. It is run by a unit of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation under Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation and handles domestic flights.
Air service here is very limited. It has mostly consisted of government-subsidised pioneer flights by small propeller aircraft, rather than daily jet services. Always check the latest schedule before making plans.
The airport sits in Teupin Gajah village, Pasie Raja district, along the main road that links Tapaktuan with Medan. It is outside the town itself, so allow for a road journey between the terminal and central Tapaktuan.
Facilities match the airport's size. There is one terminal building of around 1,000 square metres, a single asphalt runway of roughly 1,180 metres, and a small apron. A mosque and operational buildings stand on the airport grounds. Don't expect large shops or food courts, so bring water and snacks.
Recent service has centred on a pioneer route to Banda Aceh (Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport), flown by Susi Air with a Cessna Grand Caravan. Frequency has been low, often about once a week, and the route depends on government support. Flights may be suspended or rescheduled, so confirm with the airline or airport before you travel.
Most travellers reach Tapaktuan overland. Buses and shared cars run along the west coast road of Aceh, connecting the town with Meulaboh, Banda Aceh and Medan. From the airport, arrange a local car or motorbike taxi in advance, as there is no formal transport desk.
Tapaktuan is a coastal town backed by green hills. Visitors come for the rocky shoreline, local legends tied to the town's name, waterfalls in the surrounding hills, and fresh seafood. Nutmeg is a traditional crop in South Aceh.
Small aircraft have tight baggage limits, so pack light and ask the airline for the allowance. Seats are few, so book early when a flight is running. Aceh follows local Islamic regulations, so dress modestly in public.
