About Aragip Airport
Aragip Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving the village of Aragip and the surrounding inland communities of Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea. It provides an essential air link for remote settlements where road access is limited by mountainous and forested terrain.
The airport handles small aircraft and short take-off and landing charter flights rather than large commercial traffic, supporting local travel, supplies and access to services in the region. Its single runway, designated 3/21, is used primarily for short-haul domestic operations.
Aragip is located inland in Milne Bay Province, southwest of the provincial capital Alotau. Because overland journeys are difficult, air travel is one of the most practical ways to reach the area, with connections made through larger regional airports for onward travel.
Facilities are basic, reflecting the airport's role as a small community airstrip, and travelers are advised to confirm flights and local ground arrangements in advance.
