Remote airstrip serving West Kalimantan's interior communities.

Location
Tanah Pinoh Barat, Indonesia
Ulak Muid Airstrip (ICAO: WIQE) is a small general aviation facility located in the Tanah Pinoh Barat district of West Kalimantan (Kalimantan Barat) province, Indonesia.

Dining

Food options at the airstrip itself are virtually non-existent, and travellers should bring supplies or arrange meals through local hosts. Small warungs (roadside food stalls) in the surrounding Tanah Pinoh Barat area offer basic Indonesian and Dayak cuisine. Visitors are advised to plan meals in advance, particularly for early morning or late arrivals.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your charter flight details well in advance as schedules are irregular and weather-dependent.
  • Carry sufficient cash as ATMs and banking facilities are extremely limited in this remote district.
  • Bring your own food, water, and essential supplies for the duration of your stay in the area.
  • River transport may be needed to reach final destinations beyond the airstrip — coordinate logistics ahead of arrival.
