Frans Kaisiepo Airport (IATA: BIK, ICAO: WABB) is an airport on Biak island, in Papua, Indonesia. It is also known as Mokmer Airport. The airport is named after Frans Kaisiepo (1921–1979), the fourth Governor of Papua. The airport has seven aircraft parking slots, of which two are capable of handling wide-body aircraft, and a small terminal without jet bridges. The airport's only runway is 3,571m long, designated as 11/29.

The airport area and runway is also shared with Manuhua Air Force Base, a Type A airbase of the Indonesian Air Force. The airbase is named after Major (Posth.) Lambertus Manuhua, an Air Force commando that was killed during combat in 1962. Starting on 13 June 2019, it served as the homebase of the 27th Air Squadron, operating CN-235 transport aircraft.
