Location
Hesalibi, Papua New Guinea
Hesalibi Airstrip is a small, remote aerodrome located in Papua New Guinea, serving the local community of Hesalibi. It operates under the ICAO code AYHL and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor rural airstrip rather than a commercial airport. Like many airstrips in Papua New Guinea, Hesalibi serves as a critical lifeline for its community, providing access to medical supplies, cargo, and passenger transport in a region where road infrastructure is limited or nonexistent. Small charter and missionary aviation services are typical operators at such facilities. Detailed operational records for this airstrip are not widely documented in public sources, and specific data on its history, runway specifications, and current operational status remain limited.

Hesalibi Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip located in Papua New Guinea, serving the isolated community of Hesalibi and surrounding villages. Like many bush airstrips across PNG, it plays a vital role in providing access to medical services, supplies, and connectivity for populations with no practical road links. The airstrip is typical of PNG's extensive network of rural landing strips operated primarily by mission aviation and small charter operators.

Dining

  • Coordinate ground transport and accommodation well in advance through local contacts or mission organisations.
  • Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and similar operators are the primary means of reaching Hesalibi — book early and confirm your flight the day before.
