History

Ngurah Rai International Airport, officially named I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), is named after I Gusti Ngurah Rai—an Indonesian national hero who fought in the Battle of Margarana in 1946. The airport first opened in 1949 and has continuously evolved to support Bali’s rapid growth as a world-class tourism destination. Initially built with a small runway, it expanded significantly in the 1960s and 1970s to welcome international flights from Asia and Australia.

As tourism flourished, Bali became one of Southeast Asia’s most visited islands. The airport underwent major renovations ahead of major global events such as the 2002 Bali Bombing recovery efforts, 2013 APEC Summit, and the G20 Summit in 2022, leading to upgraded terminals, modern architecture, and advanced passenger facilities. Today, Ngurah Rai Airport is one of the busiest airports in Indonesia and serves millions of travelers yearly—acting as the gateway to Bali’s culture, nature, and spiritual charm.
