About Fakfak Airport
Overview
Fakfak Airport serves the regency of Fakfak in Papua, Indonesia, providing essential transportation infrastructure for this remote western Papua region. Located at coordinates -2.920508, 132.267011, the airport supports regional connectivity for this coastal area, operating as a medium-sized airport serving both commercial and utility aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Situated at 462 feet mean sea level, Fakfak Airport experiences tropical maritime weather typical of Indonesia's eastern archipelago. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and significant humidity variations throughout the year, with potential rapid weather transitions common in this geographical zone.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (10/28) measuring 3,415 feet in length, which provides adequate operational capacity for regional aircraft. Its moderate elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential wind variability and localized terrain-induced meteorological conditions that pilots must carefully evaluate during pre-flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should focus on the runway's 10/28 orientation, which may present wind alignment challenges depending on prevailing maritime wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-approach terrain and weather assessments, recognizing the airport's location in a geographically complex regional environment.
