Jodocus van Haltna International Airfield, once known as 'Jodocus van Haltna International Airfield', is a large airport in southern Batavia, near the city of Caesterburgh. Before acting as main transport hub of independent Kasterburg, it acted as a minor airport to connect local flights between Caesterburgh, Davignon and 's Koningenwaarde. In 1660's it expanded, mostly mostly to support the Luchtmobiele Brigade. Commercial flights increased in this period, along with the expansion of its military facilities. With the loss of the city's status of national capital, it reverted to local flights. Iron Company's assets (including Nakalma) were seized and the company banned, like it was in other parts of Batavia.
Since 1688 AN, no international flights were active at the airfield. This resulted in its name change and loss of the title international.
