Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport

Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport (WAJJ) is a large airport in Sentani, Indonesia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code WAJJ or IATA code DJJ. It sits in Asia.

Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport sits near sea level at 289 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Jayapura. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for WAJJ 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.

As one of the larger fields in Indonesia, WAJJ tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Sentani International Airport — also known as Dortheys Hiyo Eluay International Airport — is an airport serving Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, Indonesia, on the island of New Guinea. It is located in the town (kelurahan) of Sentani, within Sentani District, approximately 40 km from downtown Jayapura. The name “Sentani” is derived from nearby Lake Sentani, while the airport’s official name honors Theys Eluay (1937-2001), a Papuan politician from Sentani. The airport is the easternmost in Indonesia and serves as the main hub as well as the largest and busiest airport in Western New Guinea and on the island of New Guinea as a whole. It functions as the primary gateway to the region, with connections to major Indonesian cities such as Jakarta and Makassar, as well as other cities and towns in Western New Guinea including Biak, Sorong, and Merauke. In addition, it serves as a hub for pioneer routes to remote interior areas of Western New Guinea. Although designated as an international airport, it currently does not operate international flights, despite having previously served routes to Papua New Guinea.
