Mopah Airport[1] (IATA: MKQ, ICAO: WAKK) is located in Merauke, South Papua, Indonesia.
The airport serves as the main gateway to several tourist destinations around Merauke, most notably Wasur National Park.
[2] After the Surrender of Japan in 1945, allied forces departed the airfield, and military control of the airport was handed over to the government of Dutch East Indies.
The Dutch handed the control of the airport to the Indonesian government in 1962, when they signed the New York Agreement and left New Guinea.
[6] Outside the terminal building, a canopy has now been installed at the drop off location so that passengers avoid the heat and rain when they arrive.
