Yes, you can smoke at Komodo International Airport (LBJ) in the designated smoking room in the departure lounge on the second floor, past security, or in the open air outside the terminal building before you check in.
Komodo International Airport is the gateway to Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park.
After Security (Departure Lounge, Second Floor)
Indonesia’s civil aviation directorate lists a ventilated smoking room in the second-floor departure lounge, past the security checkpoint.
Before Security
The airport publishes no designated landside smoking area for the check-in hall or forecourt. Landside, open-air smoking outside the terminal building is permitted — Indonesian law (Government Regulation No. 28/2024) governs designated indoor and enclosed smoking spaces (Kawasan Tanpa Rokok), not open ground outside a building. Use this option before check-in rather than looking for a marked spot.
Vaping
The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes. Indonesia’s Government Regulation No. 28/2024 regulates vaping products nationally rather than banning them, so use the second-floor departure lounge smoking room or the open air outside the terminal, the same as you would for cigarettes.
