Remote airstrip serving the highland communities of Papua.

Location
Kegata, Indonesia
Kegata Airstrip is a small general aviation facility located in the Kegata area of Papua province, Indonesia. It serves as a vital air access point for a region where road infrastructure is extremely limited or nonexistent, making aviation the primary means of reaching surrounding communities. The airstrip is typical of many remote Papua facilities, supporting missionary aviation, humanitarian aid flights, and light cargo operations. Organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and similar operators have historically served strips of this type throughout the Papua highlands. Due to its remote location and limited infrastructure, the airstrip handles only small propeller-driven aircraft and has no commercial scheduled airline service.
