Transportation from Medan City Center to Kualanamu International Airport
There are many different vehicles available to reach Kualanamu International Airport. The most convenient of these is to take the airport train, which departs from the most central part of Medan. Trains departing from Medan Airport Train Station, which is true to its name, take you to Kualanamu International Airport after 30 minutes.
You can buy the necessary ticket for the trip online from the company's website, or you can buy it in cash or by credit card from the ticket office at the station. You can check the current timetable on the official website of the railway company.
The most economical way to reach the airport is to take the DAMRI minibuses. Shuttles departing from Plaza Medan Fair (Carrefour) in the center of Medan take you to the airport in 60 to 90 minutes. You should plan accordingly, as it can take even longer during heavy traffic.
There is no heavy taxi traffic outside the airport, especially due to Grab and then the effect of the pandemic. Especially if you want to take a taxi, you can get help from the receptionist or you can use the taxi's own applications.
There is no Uber in Medan, but Gojek and Grab apps are widely used. Although journeys made with both applications are a more economical option than a taxi, it is possible to pay a high price if traffic jams. But if you're traveling as a large group, Gojek or Grab can be an economical solution, even off the train. Average travel time for both taxi and Grab is between 60 and 90 minutes.
