Douw Aturure Nabire Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Douw Aturure Nabire) also called New Nabire Airport (IATA: NBX, ICAO: WABI) is an airport in Wanggar District, Nabire Regency, Central Papua, Indonesia.[2] This is a newly built airport to replace the old Nabire Airport (also called "Douw Aturure Airport") located in Nabire District, which is located just a few hundred meters away from the city center. The airport is named after Nabire Regent, Isaias Douw, with Douw Aturure being a title given by coastal tribes in Nabire.[3]
