Remote airstrip serving the wildlife-rich Bensbach region of PNG.

Location
Bensbach, Papua New Guinea
Bensbach Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, near the Bensbach River and the border with Indonesia. It serves as a vital access point for the isolated Bensbach area, which is known for its wildlife management area and lodge catering to safari and ecotourism visitors. The airport handles light charter and missionary aviation traffic, as there are no scheduled commercial airline services. Access to the region is almost entirely dependent on air transport, as road infrastructure in this part of Western Province is extremely limited or nonexistent. The facility is basic in nature, with a grass or gravel airstrip suitable for small propeller-driven aircraft. It plays an important logistical role for the local community, wildlife lodge guests, and humanitarian or government operations in the area.
