About Dabra Airport
Dabra Airport is a small pioneer airport serving Dabra and the surrounding Mamberamo Raya region in Papua, Indonesia. It helps connect remote Upper Mamberamo communities that have very limited road access, supporting passenger travel, logistics and government services.
The airport has a single basic passenger terminal and a runway of about 585 metres, suited to small pioneer aircraft such as the Cessna Grand Caravan. Pioneer flights connect Dabra with Sentani, the main airport serving Jayapura.
Located in Dabra town, the airport lies roughly 230 km from Jayapura and is normally reached by air rather than by road. Within the region, onward travel is mostly on foot or by longboat along the Mamberamo River.
Passenger facilities are basic, with a covered waiting area and restrooms, so travelers should be self-sufficient. Despite the limited amenities, the airport remains an essential gateway for visitors, workers and supplies reaching this isolated part of Papua.
