Remote airstrip serving isolated communities in Papua New Guinea.

Muluma Airstrip is a small, unpaved airstrip located in Papua New Guinea, serving as a vital access point for remote communities in the country's rugged interior. Like many airstrips in PNG, it plays a critical role in connecting villages that have no viable road links to the outside world. The airstrip operates under the ICAO code AYMU and is typically served by small bush aircraft operated by missionary aviation organizations and regional charter operators. It is not served by scheduled commercial airline services. Infrastructure at Muluma is minimal, consistent with remote airstrips across Papua New Guinea, and operations depend heavily on favorable weather and local ground conditions.
