Frans Xavier Seda Airport (IATA: MOF[3], ICAO: WATC[2], formerly WRKC[4]) — also known as Wai Oti Airport or Maumere Airport — is an airport serving Maumere, the capital city of Sikka Regency and the largest town on the island of Flores, in the province of East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia. Maumere is known for its reefs in the Gulf of Maumere which were once considered some of the finest diving in the world. The airport is named in honor of Frans Seda (1926–2009), who is a former finance minister of Indonesia.

To accommodate more passengers, the airport has been renovated. Currently, the airport has an apron 200 m (660 ft) long and 120 m (390 ft) wide. The terminal has an area of 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft). The airport is now equipped with runway lights and a precision approach path indicator, which allows aircraft to take-off and landing at night. The runway has been expanded and widened to 2,250 m × 45 m (7,382 ft × 148 ft), which now allows the airport to accommodate narrow-body aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The runway is still planned to be extended to 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in the future. Furthermore, the airport's taxiway has also been enlarged and now have an area measuring 77 m × 36 m (253 ft × 118 ft).[5]
