About Balimo Airport
Balimo Airport serves the town of Balimo and the wider Delta Fly District in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. It is a small domestic airfield that connects a remote part of the country with other regional centres, providing an important link for local residents, workers and visitors.
The airport is located about 3 km southwest of central Balimo and is reached mainly by road. Scheduled domestic services operate from the small terminal, with connections to destinations such as Daru, Kerema and Sasereme.
Because the area is remote, onward travel from the airport is usually organised in advance. Visitors can arrange transfers to guesthouses and lodges in Balimo, or continue to other parts of the Western Province by air or road.
Facilities at the airport are basic, with a simple waiting area and limited passenger amenities. Travellers should plan ahead, as dining, shopping and transport options near the airport are limited.
