Sentani Airport
Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport, identified by IATA code DJJ and ICAO code WAJJ, is the main large airport serving Sentani in Indonesia and an important gateway for travel in Papua. Sitting at an elevation of 289 feet (88 m), the airport handles domestic and wider regional traffic through a single, substantial airfield setup. For travellers, that means a facility built for real operational volume rather than a tiny local airstrip, making it a key arrival point whether you are visiting Sentani itself, continuing toward Jayapura, or connecting onward within eastern Indonesia.

Airfield and travel planning
The airport has one lighted asphalt runway, 12/30, measuring 9,842 feet, which supports larger aircraft operations and helps keep services practical for scheduled passenger travel. That runway length is useful for travellers because it generally reflects an airport equipped for regular commercial service rather than limited short-hop flying. When planning your trip, it is also worth noting that local time follows the Asia/Jayapura time zone, so check arrival and departure times carefully if you are connecting from other parts of Indonesia. For the most current airport notices, passenger information, and local guidance, the official airport website is the best source before you travel.
