About Tiom Airport
Tiom Airport is a small pioneer airport serving Tiom, the capital of Lanny Jaya Regency in Highland Papua, Indonesia. It provides essential domestic air connections for a highland region where road access is limited and overland travel can be slow and difficult.
Located about 10 km southeast of Tiom town centre and at an elevation of roughly 2,100 metres, the airport is served by small aircraft on subsidised pioneer routes. Flights typically connect Tiom with Wamena, the main town of the Baliem Valley, and with Sentani Airport in Jayapura, the provincial hub on Papua's north coast.
The airport has a single short runway and one small passenger terminal. Because it handles small aircraft and low passenger volumes, check-in, security, arrivals and baggage claim are compact and simple.
Road access links the airport area with Tiom town and, beyond it, with Wamena, a drive that can take around three hours depending on road conditions. For most travellers, air connections remain the most practical way to reach Tiom and continue into the surrounding highland districts.
