Wai Oti Airport

Wai Oti Airport, serving Maumere on Flores in East Nusa Tenggara, opened in the mid-2010s and operates from a single small passenger terminal that handles mainly domestic flights; it’s a compact regional gateway important for connecting remote eastern Indonesia with larger hubs. The airport sits a short drive from Maumere town and is reachable by taxis, hotel shuttles and occasional shuttle buses, with car rental available for exploring nearby beaches and dive sites. Not a major airline hub, Wai Oti is typically served by carriers such as Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Wings Air and Citilink, and fares are generally affordable thanks to budget operators though prices rise in peak season.
