Batu Licin

Overview

Bersujud Airport is the small airport serving Batu Licin in Indonesia, giving the town a practical local air gateway rather than the scale or complexity of a major hub. Identified by IATA code BTW and ICAO code WAOC, it is best approached with the expectations travellers would bring to a regional airport: shorter distances on site, a simpler layout, and a generally more straightforward arrival or departure experience. For visitors heading to Batu Licin, that usually means less time navigating terminals and more focus on onward ground transport and local planning.

• Serves: Batu Licin, Indonesia
• Airport type: small airport
• Time zone: Asia/Makassar

Runway and operations

The airport sits almost at sea level, at an elevation of just 3 feet (1 metre), which helps explain its very low-lying setting. Bersujud Airport has a single asphalt runway, 09/27, measuring 5,930 feet, making it suitable for the kinds of aircraft and services typically associated with smaller regional airports. For passengers, this usually translates into a more compact operating environment, with aircraft movements and airport activity that feel calmer and easier to follow than at larger international airports.

Planning your trip

When organising your journey, the most useful detail to keep in mind is the local time zone: Asia/Makassar. Checking flight times, hotel arrivals, and pickup arrangements against the correct local time can prevent unnecessary confusion, especially if you are connecting from another part of Indonesia or arriving after a domestic transfer. Because Bersujud Airport is a small airport, travellers should also plan ahead for basics such as transportation from the airport into Batu Licin and allow a little flexibility, since smaller airports often have fewer daily services and less room for missed timing.
