Remote gateway serving the Ransiki region of West Papua.

Location
Ransiki, Indonesia
Abresso Airport, designated with IATA code RSK and ICAO code WASC, serves the small town of Ransiki in the West Papua province of Indonesia, located on the island of New Guinea. The airport provides essential air connectivity to an area that is largely inaccessible by reliable road infrastructure, making aviation a critical link for residents and goods. The facility is a small, domestic-use airport typical of remote Indonesian regional airports. It supports light aircraft and short-haul turboprop services rather than large commercial jets, given the limited runway capacity and infrastructure common to airports in this part of Indonesia.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building typical of remote Indonesian regional facilities with basic passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Ransiki town is limited, with road access by local vehicles being the primary option.
