About Kimaam Airport
Kimaam Airport is a small pioneer airport serving Kimaam district in Merauke Regency, South Papua. It is a domestic airport managed by the Ministry of Transportation through the Kimaam Class III Airport Unit, and it provides essential air access for an island district separated from mainland Merauke by the Marianne Strait.
The airport supports scheduled pioneer flights on the Merauke-Kimaam route, typically operating about four times per week, and links the district with the regional capital. These flights play an important role in mobility, logistics, government services and access to health and education for local communities.
The airport has a 920-metre runway suitable for small propeller aircraft such as the Twin Otter, along with a compact single passenger terminal. The flight between Merauke and Kimaam takes roughly 45 minutes, making air travel the main practical connection between the island district and the city.
Facilities at the terminal are basic but functional, with a waiting area, information desk, free device charging points and wheelchair assistance available for passengers. Travelers should confirm flight schedules in advance, as pioneer services operate on a limited weekly basis.
