About Taman Bung Karno Airport
Taman Bung Karno Airport is a small domestic airport on Siau Island, the main island of the Sitaro Islands Regency (Siau Tagulandang Biaro) in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The Indonesian civil aviation authority lists it under the name Sitaro Airport, so you may see both names on schedules. Its codes are BRG (IATA) and WAMO (ICAO).
Where the Siau Airport Is Located
The airfield sits in Balirangeng, in the Siau Timur Selatan district on the southeastern side of the island. Siau lies in the chain of islands between mainland North Sulawesi and the Sangihe group, so the airport gives island residents and visitors a faster alternative to the sea crossing from Manado.
