Karel Sadsuitubun Airport is a domestic airport located in Ibra, Southeast Maluku Regency, Kai Islands, Maluku, Indonesia. It serves the town of Langgur, the regency seat, as well as the nearby city of Tual. The airport is named after Karel Satsuit Tubun (1928–1965), a police officer from Tual who was killed during the attempted coup by the Indonesian Communist Party on 30 September 1965 and is recognized as a National Hero of Indonesia.
