## Description

Turboprops dropping onto a single strip in dense rainforest define daily life at Tanah Merah Airport (TMH), the lifeline of Boven Digoel in south-eastern Papua. With no through-road to the coast, regional carriers such as Wings Air fly in passengers and loose belly cargo, while subsidised pioneer flights carry staple supplies. The field has no dedicated freight terminal or cold-chain handling, so it is best understood as a feeder point rather than a cargo station. Time-sensitive or heavier air freight is consolidated through Merauke (MKQ) or the provincial gateway at Sentani, Jayapura (DJJ). Within its remote setting, however, TMH remains an essential reference for getting goods in and out.
