Haji Aroeppala Airport (KSR/WAWH) is a small domestic airport serving Benteng, the capital of Selayar Islands Regency in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Located on Selayar Island, it acts as the main aviation gateway to the Selayar archipelago and the marine-rich Taka Bonerate National Park. Its compact terminal and short runway handle mostly regional flights, with Makassar as a key connection.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to carry enough cash from Makassar or Benteng before heading to remote parts of Selayar, as ATMs and card acceptance are limited once you leave town.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Benteng, so a taxi, ojek (motorcycle taxi), or bentor (motorized becak) is the usual way into town; agree on the fare first or arrange a hotel pickup. Ride-hailing apps may be unreliable on Selayar, so pre-booking transport is safer, especially for early or late flights. To reach Taka Bonerate or other island spots, continue by road to the relevant harbor and confirm boat schedules in advance.
