Traveller Tips

Confirm your flight schedule directly with your carrier as services are infrequent and subject to change.

Arrange your onward ground transport in advance, as options at the airstrip are very limited.
Pack light and be prepared for basic facilities; this is a remote rural airstrip, not a commercial airport.
