About Bimin Airport
Bimin Airport (BIZ) is a small domestic airstrip serving Bimin and surrounding highland communities in Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea. It forms part of the country's network of rural airstrips that link remote mountain communities with regional centres.
The airstrip lies in the Star Mountains region of western Papua New Guinea, near the border with Western Province. The nearest regional town, Tabubil, is approximately 87 km away, and Kiunga is about 123 km to the south. Because roads are scarce in this part of the country, light aircraft are often the main link to the outside world.
Bimin Airport has a single runway and minimal passenger infrastructure, typical of remote Papua New Guinea airstrips. It uses the IATA code BIZ and has no ICAO code. Flight operations depend on weather conditions and the schedules of local operators.
Facilities at the airstrip are limited, so travelers should confirm arrangements with their flight operator and carry essentials. Onward journeys to Bimin village and nearby communities are usually made on foot, by local vehicle or by further light-aircraft connections.
