Fakfak Airport guide

Siboru Airport serves Fakfak Regency on the Bomberai Peninsula of West Papua. It sits in Wartutin district, on the coast west of Fakfak town, and is the regency's main air link. It replaced Torea Airport, the older field in town, whose 1,200 m runway had no room to grow.

President Joko Widodo inaugurated the airport in November 2023, and scheduled flights began on 25 January 2024. The contractor was PT PP, and the landside and airside works cost IDR 832.5 billion. The project was listed as a National Strategic Project.

The asphalt runway is 1,600 m by 30 m, which limits the airport to turboprops such as the ATR 72. Plans call for extending it to 2,200 m so Boeing 737 jets can land. The passenger building covers 5,000 m² and is designed for about 153,945 passengers a year.

Flights link Fakfak with Sorong and other towns in West Papua and the Maluku islands. A planned 26 km access road is meant to cut the trip from town from about 90 minutes to 45.
