💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm the flight the morning of departure and keep baggage within strict weight limits; weather can cancel or reroute small PNG airstrip services with little notice.
🚖 Getting There
There is no regular public transport at the airport; most travelers arrange a pickup through local contacts, a mission, or their charter operator. Roads in the surrounding highlands can be rough and weather-affected, so confirm conditions and use a 4WD if available. Allow extra time for delays, as flights and ground transfers often depend on daylight and weather.
