Location
Bilogai, Indonesia
Bilorai Airport, also known as Bilogai Airport, is a small domestic airstrip located in Bilogai, within the Intan Jaya Regency of Papua Province, Indonesia.

It plays a critical role in supporting humanitarian missions, government services, and missionary aviation operations in the region. Aviation is essentially the only practical means of transport connecting the area to larger cities such as Nabire and Timika.
