Remote airstrip serving the Selbang community in Papua New Guinea.

Location
Selbang, Papua New Guinea
Selbang Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in Papua New Guinea, serving the local community of Selbang. It operates as a basic facility catering to light aircraft and domestic feeder flights within the country's extensive network of rural airstrips. Papua New Guinea relies heavily on air transport due to its rugged terrain and limited road infrastructure, and Selbang Airport plays a role in connecting this isolated community to regional centers. The airport handles minimal traffic and lacks the infrastructure found at larger PNG airports such as Port Moresby's Jacksons International.
