Kaimana Airport

Kaimana Airport in Kaimana, West Papua, opened in the mid-20th century and operates a single small terminal handling regional traffic, making it a compact but vital gateway to Indonesia’s Bird’s Head Peninsula. The airport is modest in size and importance—key for local travel and tourism rather than international flights—and offers connections to larger Papuan hubs via regional carriers. It’s an easy short drive from Kaimana town with taxis, minibuses and occasional shuttle services linking to nearby ports and roads. Airfares can be higher than on Java due to remoteness, though budget regional airlines like Wings Air, Susi Air and Trigana often maintain reasonably priced domestic routes and use Kaimana as a local base.
