  • Walking to nearby settlements
Dining

There are no formal dining facilities at Tawa Airport. Travellers should carry their own food and water, as local provisions in the surrounding area are extremely limited and may only be available through community vendors.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight with the operator well in advance as schedules can change without notice in remote PNG.
  • Carry sufficient cash as there are no banking or ATM facilities at or near the airstrip.
  • Pack light and within strict weight limits as small aircraft serving this airstrip have very limited payload capacity.
  • Bring any essential medicines or supplies from your origin city, as resupply options locally are very scarce.
