Tigi Airstrip
Tigi Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip serving the Tigi Timur area in the highland interior of Papua, Indonesia. It plays a critical role in connecting isolated communities that have no practical road access to the outside world. The airstrip primarily supports mission aviation, humanitarian supply flights, and light charter operations.
- Main Airstrip Terminal — A basic, single-room facility handling arrivals and departures for light aircraft only.
- On-foot travel to nearby villages
- Local charter motorcycle where terrain allows
- Community-arranged porter services for cargo
There are no formal dining facilities at or near the airstrip. Travellers should carry their own food and water supplies, as the surrounding communities have very limited provisions available for visitors.
- Coordinate all flights in advance through mission aviation operators such as AMA or similar Papua-based services.
- Weather in the Papua highlands changes rapidly; build flexibility into your schedule for delays.
- Carry sufficient cash, food, and medical supplies as there are no commercial services in the immediate area.
- Respect local community customs and seek permissions before photographing or moving through villages.
