Remote highland gateway serving the Star Mountains of Papua.

Location
Oksibil, Indonesia
Oksibil Airport (IATA: OKL, ICAO: WAJO) is a small domestic airport serving Oksibil, the capital of Pegunungan Bintang Regency in the highlands of Papua province, Indonesia. The airport plays a critical role as the primary means of access to this isolated mountainous region, where road infrastructure is virtually nonexistent. The airport is operated under Indonesian government authority and primarily serves missionary, government, and humanitarian flights in addition to scheduled domestic services. Its remote location and challenging terrain make it one of the more demanding airstrips in Papua to operate.
Terminals
The airport has a basic single terminal facility with minimal amenities, typical of remote highland airports in Papua.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with travel into Oksibil town primarily by foot or basic local vehicles due to the lack of paved roads.
Airlines here
Susi Air and Wings Air have historically operated services to Oksibil, connecting it to Jayapura and other Papua destinations.
