About Nunukan International Airport
Nunukan International Airport is the main airport serving Nunukan, a border regency town on Nunukan Island in North Kalimantan, Indonesia. It connects the town with other cities in Kalimantan and supports travel in a region that sits close to the Malaysian state of Sabah.
The airport operates as a Class III regional airport managed by Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Its single asphalt runway of about 1,450 metres and compact terminal primarily serve turboprop aircraft such as the ATR, following runway upgrades completed in the 2010s.
Located approximately 2 km from the Nunukan town centre, the airport is a short drive from the town and the ferry port. Travelers can reach the terminal by taxi, motorcycle taxi, private transfer or rental car, and onward road connections to surrounding areas are available.
Facilities are modest, with basic terminal amenities and a single passenger terminal. Because the airport is small, check-in and security processes are generally quick, making it a convenient entry point for travelers visiting Nunukan and nearby border areas.
