Gateway to the remote island of Bawean in Java Sea.

Location
Bawean, Indonesia
Harun Thohir Airport (IATA: BXW, ICAO: WARW) is a small domestic airport serving Bawean Island, located in the Java Sea north of Surabaya in East Java province, Indonesia. The airport provides essential air connectivity to this relatively isolated island, which is otherwise accessible primarily by ferry from Gresik. The airport is named after Harun Thohir, a local figure associated with the island. Given Bawean's limited population and remote location, the airport handles a modest volume of passenger traffic, serving mainly residents, government officials, and tourists visiting the island's natural attractions. Bawean Island is known for its scenic landscapes, beaches, and the endemic Bawean deer (Axis kuhlii), making the airport an important access point for ecotourism. Flight operations are limited and depend on aircraft suitable for the short runway.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote island facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Bawean's main settlements is limited to private vehicles, ojeks (motorcycle taxis), and informal local transport.
Airlines here
Susi Air and other small regional carriers have operated services connecting Bawean to Surabaya and nearby destinations.
Notable facts
