About Dewadaru Airport
Dewadaru Airport is the main air gateway to the Karimunjawa archipelago in Central Java, Indonesia. Located on Kemujan Island, close to Karimun Island, it connects the islands with domestic destinations such as Semarang and Surabaya and serves travelers visiting Karimunjawa's beaches, diving areas and island communities.
The airport began operating in the early 1990s and has since been upgraded with runway and terminal improvements to handle larger turboprop aircraft. It has a single small passenger terminal and a single runway, giving it a simple, island-scale layout suited to short domestic flights.
The airport sits roughly 22 km from Karimunjawa town, the main settlement of the islands. Visitors continue by car, taxi, rented scooter or local bus along island roads, while the nearby Karimunjawa port offers ferry connections to Jepara and Semarang on the mainland.
