About Bilorai Airport
Bilorai Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Sugapa, the capital of Intan Jaya Regency, in the remote Central Papua highlands of Indonesia. It acts as the main air gateway for the district, connecting local communities and visitors with Nabire, Timika and other highland airstrips.
The airport operates a single short runway of about 600 metres at an elevation of roughly 2,240 metres above sea level. Its compact size and mountainous setting mean it is used mainly by light aircraft and small passenger services, and weather and terrain can affect flight operations.
Located in the village of Bilogai within Sugapa District, the airport lies close to Sugapa town centre, about 2 km away. Road access in the area is limited, so onward travel within Intan Jaya is generally arranged locally and air links remain important for supplies and mobility.
Facilities are basic and designed for essential travel rather than large-scale passenger traffic. Travelers should expect a compact terminal, simple check-in and baggage handling, and limited food, shopping and waiting areas, and should plan accordingly.
