Remote gateway serving Central Kalimantan's Gunung Mas regency.

Location
Kuala Kurun, Indonesia
Kuala Kurun Airport (IATA: GXM, ICAO: WAGA) is a small domestic airport located in Kuala Kurun, the capital of Gunung Mas Regency in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. It serves as a vital air link for this inland Borneo community, which is otherwise accessible primarily by river or overland road. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter services, primarily connecting the region to larger cities in Kalimantan such as Palangka Raya. Given the remote nature of the area and the limitations of ground transportation infrastructure, air travel plays an important role for residents and government officials. The facility is a small, single-runway airport managed under Indonesia's civil aviation authority and reflects the broader network of remote airstrips that support connectivity across the vast island of Borneo.
Terminals
The airport has a basic single terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of a remote regional facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the airport primarily consists of private vehicles and informal taxis, as public transit options in Kuala Kurun are limited.
