Mopah Airport

Merauke, Indonesia

Mopah Airport (IATA: MKQ, ICAO: WAKK) is a domestic airport located in Merauke, the largest town in South Papua province, Indonesia. It is the second easternmost airport in Indonesia after Sentani International Airport in Jayapura. Situated approximately 3 km (1.86 miles) from the town center, it is the largest and busiest airport in South Papua, serving as the primary gateway to Merauke and the province as a whole. The airport also provides access to nearby tourist destinations, most notably Wasur National Park. At present, scheduled services are limited to flights to Makassar and Jayapura, along with pioneer flights to smaller towns and villages in the interior of South Papua. Although the airport holds international status, it does not currently handle scheduled international flights, despite having previously served routes to Papua New Guinea. In addition to serving civilian flights, the airport shares its facilities with Johannes Abraham Dimara Air Force Base, a Type-B installation of the Indonesian Air Force. The airbase is located southwest of the passenger terminal, across the runway.
