Frans Kaisiepo Airport

Frans Kaisiepo Airport (WABB) is a medium airport in Biak, Indonesia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code WABB or IATA code BIK. It sits in Asia.

Frans Kaisiepo Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Frans Kaisiepo Airport sits near sea level at 46 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Jayapura. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for WABB updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

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.
