Remote airstrip serving the Yembiyembi community in Papua New Guinea.

Location
Yembiyembi, Papua New Guinea
Yembi Yembi Airstrip (ICAO: AYVY) is a small, remote airstrip located in the Yembiyembi area of Papua New Guinea. It serves as a vital access point for a community that has limited or no practical road connections to larger population centers. Like many rural airstrips in Papua New Guinea, it primarily supports light aircraft operations, missionary aviation, and occasional medical or humanitarian flights. Such strips are critical lifelines for remote villages throughout the country. The airstrip is not served by scheduled commercial airline services and lacks the infrastructure found at larger regional or international airports in Papua New Guinea.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited given the remote location, with river or foot travel likely being the primary means of onward movement.
