Background

The government said they will provide Rp30 billion, or about US$2.5 million, from the state budget for the construction of the airfield. In the meantime, Gabriel Asem, the head of Tambrauw district, remarked that the administration has budgeted Rp9 billion, or about US$752 thousand, for the construction of the airport and Rp3 billion, or about US$250 thousand, for acquiring the land for the airport. The airport needs a land area of 200 hectares (490 acres), including for its runway, taxiway, and the apron. The area of the runway is 500 by 23 meters (1,640 ft × 75 ft), while the runway strip is 520 by 60 meters (1,710 ft × 200 ft).

The Werur Airport will facilitate the locals and tourists to reach Raja Ampat and other locations in West Papua.[3]
