Frans Kaisiepo Airport[2] (IATA: BIK, ICAO: WABB) is an airport on Biak island, in Papua, Indonesia. It is also known as Mokmer Airport.[3] The airport is named after Frans Kaisiepo (1921–1979), the fourth Governor of Papua. The airport has seven aircraft parking slots, of which two are capable of handling wide-body aircraft, and a small terminal without jet bridges. The airport's only runway is 3,571m long, designated as 11/29.
The airport area and runway is also shared with Manuhua Air Force Base,[4] a Type A airbase of the Indonesian Air Force. The airbase is named after Major (Posth.) Lambertus Manuhua, an Air Force commando that was killed during combat in 1962.[5] Starting on 13 June 2019, it served as the homebase of the 27th Air Squadron, operating CN-235 transport aircraft.[6]
