Domine Eduard Osok Airport serves as a one of the entry point to the Raja Ampat Islands, since Raja Ampat Islands is closer to the city of Sorong, compared to the provincial capital Manokwari. However, Marinda Airport which is located within the Raja Ampat Islands has started operating, therefore this airport no longer serves as the main entry point.

The movement of aircraft in one of the busiest and largest airports on the Bird’s Head Peninsula is experiencing an average growth of 3.3% annually. Noted, there are more than 9,000 aircraft movements per year. In terms of passengers, the average annual passenger growth reaches 13.2% where in 2014 there are about 500,000 more passengers. For cargo, the average cargo growth per year is quite rapid at around 17.2%.

As an airport feeder, Domine Eduard Osok Airport serves domestic scheduled services operated by several airlines including Garuda Indonesia, Sriwijaya Air and Xpress Air. In addition, the airport also serves pioneer destinations which are operated by Susi Air to some surrounding areas such as Ayawasi, Inawatan, Teminabuan, and Waisai. With a length of 2,500 meters and 45 meters wide, this airport runway can be landed by aircraft like Boeing 737 series and the Airbus A320.

Enggros Village

Located near West Papua’s capital city of Jayapura in Youtefa bay, Enggros village is indeed a unique village. The people build their home above the sea. To get to this village, people from outside of Enggros village can take speed boat from Hamadi dock or Youtefa market dock for about 20 minutes with a fee of around 10.000 rupiah.

The village has 33.37 hectares area and 135 families inhabiting the area. Because they live on the sea, they build woods bridges to connect one house to another. Their livelihood are mainly fishermen.

Free Wi-Fi

The Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration has provided free internet access and wi-fi after Enggros village has won third place in a 2016 national village competition. Using a free 24 hours free wi-fi the people of Enggros village will be able to access information from around the world.

There are wi-fi spots where people can gather to access internet. One of them is a wooden house with a cone roof called INFRAU, which means public place. The others are the area close to the office of the village head, and the wooden bridges where people can sit and surf the net with their gadgets or laptops.

Potential benefits

The free internet access has given many advantages for the people in Enggros village. The men who make their living as fishermen, can search for fishery knowledge to improve their skills. Students can use the internet to add their knowledge and help their study. While the ladies use the internet to find the knowledge that can help them managing household and women empowerment such as new recipes, and new patterns for Noken.
