About Nanga Pinoh Airport
Nanga Pinoh Airport is a small domestic airport serving Nanga Pinoh, the administrative centre of Melawi Regency in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It functions mainly as a pioneer-flight gateway for the upper Kapuas River region rather than a busy commercial hub.
Located on Jalan Kota Baru about 2.5 km from the town centre, the airport has a single asphalt runway measuring 1,300 metres by 30 metres and a compact terminal building. Its size and infrastructure are suited to small aircraft such as the Cessna Caravan, which has been used on routes connecting Nanga Pinoh with Pontianak and other points in West Kalimantan.
Passenger services have been intermittent in recent years: pioneer flights operated until late 2018 and plans to resume scheduled connections have been discussed since then. When flights are operating, the airport's close position to the town makes onward travel by local road transport quick and simple.
Facilities are basic, with a waiting area and essential passenger services rather than the range of shops and lounges found at larger Indonesian airports. For travellers, the airport is best understood as a convenient local entry point for Melawi Regency and nearby inland destinations.
