Bime Airstrip

Bime Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip located in the Bime area of Papua province, Indonesia. It serves as a critical access point for isolated communities in the mountainous interior of the island, where no roads connect the region to the outside world. The airstrip is primarily used by missionary aviation organizations and charter operators that supply food, medical aid, and essential goods to surrounding villages. Its short, unpaved runway is suited only for small, single-engine or light twin-engine aircraft capable of operating in demanding terrain. Given its remote location and the challenging topography of the surrounding highlands, Bime Airstrip plays a vital humanitarian and logistical role for the local population, who would otherwise be largely cut off from services and supplies.
