Utarom Airport, also known as Kaimana Airport, is a domestic airport serving the town of Kaimana in the province of West Papua, Indonesia. The airport is located about 7 km from the town center. The airport’s name is derived from a traditional Kaimana folktale, named by the former ruler of Kaimana, Raja Kumisi IV Achmad Aiturauw. The airport serves as the main gateway to Kaimana and the wider Kaimana Regency, particularly the western portion of the Bird’s Neck Isthmus and the southeastern part of the Bomberai Peninsula. Currently, it only handles short- to medium-haul inter-Papuan flights, including routes to Manokwari, Sorong, and Timika.
