Mopah International Airport

MKQ is the code for Mopah International Airport, serving Merauke in Indonesia's Papua region, near the border with Papua New Guinea.

The airport's infrastructure reflects ongoing Indonesian government investment in improving connectivity to its remote eastern provinces.
