About Mararena Sarmi Airport

Mararena Sarmi Airport is the main airport serving Sarmi Regency on the northern coast of Papua, Indonesia. Located in the village of Mararena, it provides an important domestic air link for this remote part of Papua, where overland travel to other cities is limited and time-consuming.

The airport has a single runway (13/31) of about 750 by 23 metres and a small, compact passenger terminal. It mainly handles short-haul turboprop services, including scheduled and pioneer flights connecting Sarmi with Sentani International Airport in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province.

Situated roughly 2 km south of Sarmi town centre, the airport can be reached by local road in only a few minutes. Ground transportation is usually arranged in advance through accommodation or local contacts, as regular taxi services at the terminal are limited.

As a small regional airfield, Mararena Sarmi offers a simple and efficient passenger experience with basic facilities. Travelers are advised to confirm flight schedules directly with their airline, as services in Papua can change with weather and aircraft availability.
