Batom (BXM/WAJG) is a short bush airstrip in the highlands of Indonesia's Pegunungan Bintang province on New Guinea, without continuous road access. There is no scheduled service and no cargo handling; supplies arrive on light aircraft flown by mission and bush operators, so freight relevance is minimal. For air cargo, Oksibil (OKL) and above all Jayapura-Sentani (DJJ) are the relevant regional gateways.
