About Andakombe Airport
Andakombe Airport (ADC) is a small airstrip serving Andakombe, a remote highland village in Papua New Guinea. Located about 300 km northwest of Port Moresby, it provides an important air link for communities in the border area where Eastern Highlands, Morobe and Gulf provinces meet.
Set at an elevation of about 1,100 metres, the airport has a single grass runway approximately 473 metres long. It is used mainly by light aircraft for domestic flights and charter operations, connecting the area with larger regional centres in the highlands and coastal towns.

Onward travel from the airstrip to nearby villages and towns such as Menyamya and Marawaka is typically by road or track, with travel times depending on weather and road conditions.
Facilities at the airport are basic, so travelers should confirm flight details with their airline and plan ahead. Despite its modest size, the airstrip plays a practical role in keeping this remote part of Papua New Guinea connected.
