Remote airstrip serving the Kamur region of Papua, Indonesia.

Location
Kamur, Indonesia
Kamur Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the Kamur area of Papua province, Indonesia. It serves as a vital lifeline for local communities in this isolated region, where air transport is often the only practical means of access. The airport supports light aircraft operations, primarily facilitating humanitarian, missionary, and basic passenger services to surrounding villages. It is not served by major commercial airlines and handles very low traffic volumes. Given its remote location in the interior of Papua, the airport plays a critical role in connecting local populations to regional centers for medical, supply, and administrative needs.
Getting to & from
