About This Airport

Set beside Lake Sentani about 40 km from Jayapura, Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport (DJJ) is the largest and busiest airport on the entire island of New Guinea and the principal gateway into Indonesia's Papua province. Its position matters because much of the surrounding terrain is roadless mountain country: highland towns such as Wamena depend almost entirely on aircraft for rice, fuel and building materials. Operators including Trigana Air fly Boeing 737 freighters on shuttle runs from Sentani into the interior, making cargo here a supply line rather than a commercial convenience. A 3,000-metre runway and eight cargo aircraft parking stands give the airport real freight capacity. From DJJ, services also reach Biak, Sorong, Merauke and the major Indonesian cities to the west. Customs and quarantine facilities support both domestic lifeline traffic and limited international movements. The defining feature of this airport is dependence: for Papua's interior, the apron at Sentani is where supplies begin their final leg.
