About Frans Kaisiepo Airport
Frans Kaisiepo International Airport, formerly known as Mokmer Airport, is an international airport serving Biak, the largest island in the Biak Archipelago, located in Biak Numfor Regency, Papua Province, Indonesia. The airport is named after Frans Kaisiepo (1921–1979), the fourth Governor of Papua and a designated National Hero of Indonesia who played a key role in the integration of Western New Guinea into Indonesia. The airport is situated approximately 3 km from Biak town center and serves as the main gateway to Biak and its surrounding islands. It currently operates regular domestic flights within Papua, including routes to Jayapura and Sorong, as well as to Makassar in South Sulawesi. In the past, the airport handled international flights to destinations such as Amsterdam via Tokyo, operated by KLM, and Los Angeles via Honolulu, operated by Garuda Indonesia. At present, however, the airport does not handle scheduled international services, except for occasional charter flights.
