Apouwo is a very short unpaved airstrip at roughly 5,250 feet in the highlands of Central Papua, Indonesia, accessible only to STOL-capable light aircraft. It supports supply and mission flights for surrounding villages and has no scheduled service, customs facilities or freight handling, so there is no commercial cargo role. Goods for the area arrive through the regional airports of Nabire (NBX) and Timika (TIM) and are then distributed onward by light aircraft.
