Alas Leuser Airport guide

Alas Leuser Airport serves Kutacane, the seat of Southeast Aceh Regency in Aceh province, Sumatra. It lies on the Alas river plain near the Gunung Leuser mountain range, at an elevation of about 4 m by Wikipedia's figure, and carries the ICAO code WIMU. The airport is used by both civil and military aircraft and is owned by the Government of Indonesia.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 15/33, listed at about 1,500 m, and sources give lengths up to about 1,630 m after an extension. Aviation databases report no aviation fuel on site. Scheduled traffic is light and flown by small turboprops. Susi Air connects Kutacane with Banda Aceh and with Medan. Schedules at small Indonesian airports change often, so check with the airline before travelling.

The airport is the quickest link between the Gunung Leuser area and the provincial capital, as the road journey to Medan or Banda Aceh takes many hours.
