About Umbu Mehang Kunda Airport
Wikipedia ↗Umbu Mehang Kunda Airport, formerly known as Mau Hau Airport, is a domestic airport serving Waingapu, the largest town and administrative seat of East Sumba Regency on the island of Sumba, in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The airport is named after Umbu Mehang Kunda (1951–2008), a former regent of East Sumba who was known for representing the Sumbanese at the national political level. It is one of only two airports on Sumba, the other being the larger and busier Lede Kalumbang Airport in Tambolaka, Southwest Sumba. Located approximately 4 km from Waingapu town center, the airport serves as the main gateway to eastern Sumba. At present, it handles a limited number of domestic flights to nearby destinations within the Lesser Sunda Islands, such as Lombok, Kupang, Labuan Bajo and Savu, although it previously also served routes to Denpasar, Bali.
