Angguruk Airstrip

Angguruk Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip located in the highland interior of Papua province, Indonesia, serving the isolated community of Angguruk in the Yahukimo Regency. The airstrip functions as a critical lifeline for residents, as there are no roads connecting Angguruk to the outside world, making air transport the only practical means of access. The airstrip primarily supports missionary aviation and humanitarian flights operated by organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and associated Indonesian aviation operators. These flights carry essential supplies, medical personnel, and passengers to and from the remote highland area. Due to its challenging mountainous terrain and limited infrastructure, operations at Angguruk are restricted to small, propeller-driven aircraft capable of short-field landings. Weather conditions in the highlands can be unpredictable, frequently affecting flight schedules.
