Traveller Tips
  • Book flights well in advance through operators like Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) or Air Serce PNG, as schedules are infrequent.
  • Carry sufficient cash as there are no banking or ATM facilities in the immediate area.
  • Pack all essential supplies including food, water, and first aid, as the surrounding area offers very limited services.
  • Check weather conditions before travel, as flights to remote PNG airstrips are highly weather-dependent and cancellations are common.
