Nabire Airport
Nabire, Indonesia
Douw Aturure Airport (IATA: NBX, ICAO: WABI) is a domestic airport in Wanggar District, Nabire Regency, Central Papua, Indonesia. The airport began operations in 2023, replacing the old Nabire Airport (also known as Douw Aturure Airport) in Nabire District, which was located just a few hundred meters from the city center. The airport is named after Isaias Douw, a former regent of Nabire Regency, with “Douw Aturure” being a title bestowed by coastal tribes in Nabire. Located about 12 km (7.5 miles) from the city center, the airport serves as the main gateway to Nabire, the capital of Central Papua, as well as the surrounding regions. It also provides access to nearby tourist destinations such as Teluk Cenderawasih National Park. Currently, the airport serves flights to major cities such as Makassar, Jayapura, and Timika, along with pioneer routes to rural areas in the interior.
