Sumarorong Airport

The airport developed from an airstrip to a 700-meter runway in 2012 and a predicted finish in 2013 with a 1,500-meter runway to facilitate wide-body aircraft. However, the airport ceased operations in 2016 due to a lack of passengers.[1] On November 2020, the airport is opened again for flight.[2]
