## Description

Copper and gold built this airport. Mozes Kilangin Airport (TIM) in Timika was constructed by Freeport in 1969 to supply the Grasberg Mine — one of the largest gold and copper deposits on earth — and remains jointly operated by Freeport-McMoRan and the Indonesian government. Personnel, mining equipment, fuel and provisions move through Timika, with charter specialist Airfast Indonesia basing operations here and linking the site to Java by both passenger and freighter services. Because Central Papua has almost no usable road network, the airport is the region's most dependable supply line. Beyond mining freight, it handles foodstuffs and medical consignments for surrounding communities. Few commercial airports anywhere are so directly shaped by a single industrial operation.
