Stevanus Rumbewas Airport — Serui, Indonesia

Stevanus Rumbewas Airport, coded ZRI, serves the Serui area on Yapen Island near Biak in Indonesia's Papua region. Named after a local figure, the airport connects this remote island community to Jayapura and other Papuan cities across challenging terrain where sea and air travel dominate over road infrastructure. Yapen's tropical rainforest environment and coastal fishing villages depend on ZRI for supplies, medical access, and passenger movement. Small regional carriers operate turboprop aircraft suited to the airport's modest runway. As with many airfields across eastern Indonesia's scattered archipelago, Stevanus Rumbewas Airport plays a disproportionately important role given the near absence of alternative transport connecting Papua's island communities.
