A quiet gateway connecting remote Natuna islands to the wider world

It functions as a vital link for local communities in one of Indonesia's most remote and strategically significant island groups, situated in the South China Sea. The airport supports light aircraft and limited scheduled services, playing an essential role in connecting islanders to mainland services and supplies.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight schedule directly with the airline, as services to remote island airports are subject to frequent changes.
  • Carry sufficient Indonesian rupiah cash, as ATMs and card payment facilities may not be available.
  • Arrive well ahead of departure time as the airport has minimal staff and processes passengers manually.
  • Pack light and check baggage weight limits carefully, as small aircraft serving this route have strict payload restrictions.
