In 2014, the Indonesian government said they will provide Rp30 billion, or about US$2.5 million, from the state budget for the construction of the airfield. In the meantime, Gabriel Asem, Bupati of Tambrauw Regency, remarked that the administration has budgeted Rp9 billion, or about US$752 thousand, for the construction of the airport and Rp3 billion, or about US$250 thousand, for acquiring the land for the airport.
The airport needs a land area of 200 hectares (490 acres), including for its runway, taxiway, and the apron. The area of the runway is 500 by 23 meters (1,640 ft × 75 ft), while the runway strip is 520 by 60 meters (1,710 ft × 200 ft).
The Werur Airport will facilitate the locals and tourists to reach Raja Ampat and other locations in Southwest Papua.
