About Bokondini Airport
Bokondini Airport is a small domestic airport serving Bokondini and Tolikara Regency in the highlands of Papua Pegunungan, Indonesia. It operates as a regional aviation gateway, connecting remote highland communities with larger towns such as Wamena and onward destinations via Sentani near Jayapura.
The airport sits at an elevation of about 1,348 metres and has a single paved runway of approximately 850 metres. It mainly handles small aircraft such as the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter and Cessna 208 Grand Caravan, which are suited to short regional flights in mountainous terrain.
Located in Bokondini District, the airport is roughly 22 km from the regency capital of Karubaga and is reached by limited highland roads. Ground transport options are limited, so most travelers arrange private transfers or local vehicles in advance.
Passenger facilities are basic but support essential services for check-in, waiting, arrivals and baggage handling. As a small regional airport, it plays an important role in linking the Tolikara highlands with the wider Papua region.
