Bambu Airport (IATA: BCP, ICAO: AYBC) is a small rural airstrip serving Bambu village in Papua New Guinea's Madang Province. It handles light aircraft and community flights rather than commercial jet service. The airport has minimal infrastructure and an unpaved runway, typical of remote PNG airstrips.
💡 Local Tip
A frequent visitor would know to confirm the airstrip's condition and flight schedule directly with the operator the day before, as wet-season rains can quickly make the runway unusable and roads impassable.

Getting to or from Bambu Airport generally requires a pre-arranged charter flight or community air service from Madang, Lae, or another regional hub. Ground transport is limited, so arrange a pickup with your host or local guide in advance. Roads can be rough and weather-dependent, so allow extra time and keep contact numbers handy.
