Rokot Airport (RKI) is the main gateway to the Mentawai Islands, off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It's a small regional airport, so check flight availability carefully and compare options on Traveloka before you travel.

Overview of Rokot Airport

RKI is on Sipora Island in the Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra. A new terminal and a runway extension to 1,500 metres, able to take ATR-72 aircraft, opened in October 2023 as part of the New Mentawai Airport Development. The airport mainly serves the Mentawai Islands' surf tourism industry, giving travellers a faster alternative to the multi-hour ferry from Padang.

Where Rokot Airport Connects To

RKI's main route is to and from Padang (PDG) on mainland Sumatra, a flight of under an hour compared to a 3-4 hour ferry crossing.

Airlines at Rokot Airport

Susi Air has operated regular flights between Padang and RKI. Wings Air also launched Padang-RKI flights in March 2025, though service on this route has been intermittent, so check current schedules before you book.

Facilities at Rokot Airport

As a small, remote regional airport, RKI has basic facilities only. Don't expect lounges or much dining and shopping. Surfboards are accepted on some flights but may carry length limits and handling fees, so check with your airline in advance.

Getting To and From Rokot Airport

There's no public transport network on Sipora Island. Onward travel to Mentawai's surf camps and resorts is typically arranged directly with your accommodation, often by boat.
