## Description

Consumer goods, building materials and perishables inbound, fish and seafood outbound: Domine Eduard Osok Airport (SOQ/WASS) in Sorong handled 7,076 tonnes of cargo and about 1.67 million passengers in 2024, making it the main air gateway to the far west of New Guinea. Passenger numbers rose by roughly 30 percent year on year while cargo slipped by some 3 percent. Opened in 2004 and upgraded from Class III to Class I (main), the airport has a new terminal designed for 2.4 million passengers a year against 700,000 before, and a 2,500-metre runway that takes Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Lion Air, Wings Air and Garuda Indonesia operate scheduled services, mostly via Makassar–Sultan Hasanuddin (UPG), the cargo collection point for eastern Indonesia; ground and cargo handling are provided by Lintas Megantara and PT IPTN. Freight moves as belly cargo on passenger aircraft — no dedicated freighter services are documented for SOQ. Intercontinental shipments consolidate at UPG, while the adjacent seaport of Sorong opens sea-air options for less time-critical volumes.
