Remote gateway serving Papua's Bird's Head Peninsula.

Location
Babo, Indonesia
Babo Airport (IATA: BXB, ICAO: WASO) is a small regional airport located in Babo, a town in West Papua province, Indonesia. It serves as an important air link for the remote Bird's Head Peninsula region, where road infrastructure is limited and air travel is often the primary means of transport. The airport supports both passenger and cargo operations, connecting the area to larger hubs such as Manokwari and Sorong. It plays a vital role in supporting local communities, government activity, and resource-sector operations in the region. Given its remote location and relatively low passenger volumes, Babo Airport operates with basic facilities typical of regional Indonesian airports in Papua.

Getting to & from
