Regional gateway serving the Kei Islands of eastern Indonesia.

Location
Langgur, Indonesia
Dumatubin Airport (ICAO: WAPL) is a small regional airport serving Langgur, the main urban center of Southeast Maluku Regency in Maluku Province, Indonesia. It provides essential air connectivity to the Kei Islands, a remote archipelago in the Banda Sea, linking the region to larger hubs such as Ambon and Makassar. The airport plays a critical role in supporting local commerce, tourism, and the movement of passengers and cargo across an area where sea travel can be lengthy and weather-dependent. The Kei Islands are known for their white-sand beaches and coral reefs, making the airport an important entry point for visitors to this relatively undiscovered destination. Infrastructure at Dumatubin is modest, reflecting the operational scale of a rural Indonesian regional airport. Scheduled services are operated by domestic carriers connecting Langgur to other points within Maluku and eastern Indonesia.

Getting to & from
