Gateway to Seram Island in eastern Indonesia.

Location
Amahai, Indonesia
Amahai Airport (IATA: AHI, ICAO: WAPA) is a small domestic airport located in Amahai, the capital of Central Maluku Regency on the island of Seram, Indonesia. It serves as an important air link for the region, connecting the island's residents and visitors to Ambon and other parts of Maluku Province. The airport operates on a modest scale, handling light aircraft and regional turboprop services typical of eastern Indonesian aviation infrastructure. It plays a vital role in supporting local government, commerce, and community connectivity in an area where sea transport has historically been the primary mode of travel.
