Indonesian C-130 down in Papua
It's about the same level it's always been at really. The DGCA is chronically under-resourced and Papua is lacking in infrastructure. Wamena is a busy airport in mountainous terrain without an instrument approach.
Must be be of the most challenging areas to fly in the world........................
Jungles and terrain that goes up to 4884 m.............................
