About Marinda Airport
Marinda Airport is the main airport serving Waisai, the capital of Raja Ampat Regency in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. It functions as the primary air gateway to the Raja Ampat archipelago, a region known internationally for its diving and marine tourism.
Opened in 2012, the airport has a single terminal and a runway used mainly by ATR 72 and similar regional aircraft. It connects Waisai with Sorong, the nearest major city and regional transport hub, with regular short flights that form part of the main route into the islands.
The airport is located a short drive west of Waisai town centre, close to the coastal area and within reach of Waisai Harbour. From the harbour, travellers can continue by ferry or boat to dive resorts and islands across Raja Ampat.
As a compact regional airport, Marinda focuses on essential passenger services rather than large-scale retail. Its role as the entry point for Raja Ampat makes it an important link for both local residents and international visitors travelling to the islands.
