  "terminal_info": "Domine Eduard Osok Airport operates as the premier aviation gateway to West Papua and the world-renowned Raja Ampat Islands, featuring a significantly modernized 13,700-square-meter passenger terminal building completed in 2016 that dramatically expanded capacity from 700,000 to 2.4 million passengers annually. The two-level terminal showcases distinctive Indonesian architectural design with exterior ornamentation resembling traditional betel nuts and cultural decorations reflecting local Papuan traditions, while accommodating up to 782 passengers daily through efficient passenger processing systems. Named after Domine Eduard Osok, a local pastor known for his missionary work spreading Christianity throughout the Sorong region, the facility represents a major infrastructure investment supporting West Papua's growing importance as a biodiversity tourism destination and regional economic center.\n\nModern terminal facilities include comprehensive passenger amenities spanning both levels, featuring comfortable waiting areas, airline check-in counters, two jet bridges and fixed bridge systems enabling efficient aircraft boarding regardless of weather conditions, advanced baggage handling systems with modern conveyor networks, passenger elevators, security screening equipment including walk-through metal detectors and baggage X-ray systems, and multi-view monitoring capabilities ensuring safety and security standards. Commercial services throughout the terminal encompass diverse dining options including restaurants and cafes, retail opportunities featuring local handicraft shops, clothing boutiques, newsagents, mini-markets, banking facilities with multiple ATMs, and specialty concessions catering to the significant eco-tourism traffic bound for Raja Ampat's marine sanctuaries and diving destinations.\n\nInfrastructure supporting the terminal includes an extended 2,500-meter asphalt runway (09/27) positioned at 3 meters elevation, specifically lengthened from the original 1,950 meters to accommodate Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft essential for connecting Sorong to major Indonesian cities and international destinations. The facility serves as the crucial transportation hub for accessing the legendary Raja Ampat Islands, with convenient 10-20 minute taxi connections to ferry terminals where speedboats and ferries provide onward transport to this world-famous marine biodiversity hotspot. Strategic location as the largest and busiest airport on the Bird's Head Peninsula makes Domine Eduard Osok Airport the preferred gateway over Manokwari for travelers accessing Raja Ampat's pristine reefs, endemic marine species, and eco-tourism infrastructure that has established West Papua as a global destination for diving, marine photography, and conservation research throughout Indonesia's most biodiverse marine environment.",
