Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Tanjung Redep

Travelling by private jet to Tanjung Redep removes the logistical burden of connecting through Balikpapan or Jakarta on limited commercial schedules, placing passengers directly into Berau Regency on their own timetable. Borneo Island – Kalimarau Airport’s relatively compact footprint means private passengers benefit from swift ramp access, minimal processing time, and close proximity between aircraft and terminal. For corporate travellers coordinating site visits to Berau’s energy sector operations, the ability to depart immediately upon the conclusion of meetings is a genuine operational advantage. Flexible departure windows also allow leisure travellers to align arrival with favourable tidal and weather conditions for the Derawan Islands excursion.

About Borneo Island – Kalimarau Airport

Borneo Island – Kalimarau Airport (IATA: BEJ, ICAO: WALK) is a state-managed domestic airport operated under Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation, serving Berau Regency in East Kalimantan province. The airport has undergone progressive infrastructure improvements in recent years to accommodate growing passenger and cargo demand driven by regional resource industries. Its single runway of approximately 2,250 metres is capable of handling turboprop and medium-category jet aircraft, making it well suited to light and midsize private jets flying regional and domestic sectors. The terminal handles Indonesian customs and immigration formalities for qualifying international general aviation arrivals, though most private jet itineraries routing through BEJ connect domestically from Balikpapan’s Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport. The airport’s strategic position in East Kalimantan places it at the heart of Indonesia’s resource corridor and within reach of some of Borneo’s most celebrated natural environments.
