Mozes Kilangin Airport (IATA: TIM, ICAO: WAYY) is a domestic airport located in Timika, the capital of Mimika Regency in Central Papua, Indonesia. The airport serves as the primary gateway to Timika, the largest town in Central Papua, and the Grasberg Mine, the world's largest gold mine, operated by Freeport-McMoRan. The airport is jointly operated by the Indonesian government and Freeport. The airport is named after Mozes Kilangin, a prominent figure from the Amungme tribe who played a significant role in the development of Freeport’s operations in Indonesia. The airport primarily serves inter-Papuan flights to cities such as Jayapura and Sorong, along with rural flights, as well as connections to other cities across Indonesia, including Makassar. In addition, the airport serves as the operating base for Airfast Indonesia, which primarily operates charter flights between Timika and other parts of Indonesia for Freeport employees.
The airport area and runway are shared with Yohanis Kapiyau Air Force Base, a Type C airbase of the TNI-AU (Indonesian Air Force). The airbase is named after Yohanis Kapiyau, a Papuan politician and pro-integration leader from Timika.
