Kalimarau Airport
East Kalimantan's Kalimarau Airport, coded BEJ, serves Tanjung Redeb, the main town of Berau Regency on Borneo Island, Indonesia. Elevation is 59 feet, with a single runway keeping the field modest in scale. BEJ connects Tanjung Redeb to Balikpapan and other East Kalimantan cities, supporting a regional economy built on mining, timber, and increasingly tourism, given Berau's proximity to the Derawan Islands diving area. Aviation records for BEJ center on low elevation and a single-runway configuration, consistent with a growing but still regionally scaled airport serving this part of northeastern Borneo.
