The airport began operations on 25 January 2024, replacing the oldTorea Airport, which lacked sufficient land for expansion.[2] The airport primarily serves inter-Papuan flights to major cities likeSorong andManokwari, along with regional flights to rural areas.
Construction of the airport began in December 2020 and was successfully completed in September 2023. This airport is one of theNational Strategic Projects (PSN) with a contract value of IDR 832.5 billion for both the landside and airside works.[3] The airport was built with the aim of improving connectivity and accessibility in the region, as well as supporting economic growth and tourism in the surrounding areas. The airport was inaugurated by PresidentJoko Widodo on 23 November 2023, although formal operation only began on 25 January 2024.[4][2]

Plans are underway to expand the apron and extend the runway to 2,200 m, enabling it to accommodateBoeing 737 aircraft in the future.[7][8]
