Hayfields Airport (HYF/AYHF) is a small airstrip serving Bainyik and the surrounding Hayfields area in Papua New Guinea’s East Sepik Province. It primarily supports light charter, missionary, and community flights rather than scheduled airline service. Its location near the Sepik plains makes it a practical access point for nearby villages and rural projects when road conditions are poor.
💡 Local Tip
Pack light and keep a flexible schedule: small airstrips in the Sepik are often weight-limited and can become unusable after heavy rain, so reconfirm your flight the day before and have a backup plan.
🚖 Getting There
Arrange ground transport before arrival, as there is no regular taxi or bus service at the airstrip. From Wewak or nearby towns, travel by hired vehicle or PMV can be slow and weather-dependent; allow extra time. If continuing to remote Sepik destinations, confirm boat or onward charter connections in advance.
