About Cape Rodney Airport
Cape Rodney Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving Cape Rodney and nearby coastal communities in Central Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides an important air link for residents, government services, and local agricultural and fishing areas between the southern coast and Port Moresby.
Located roughly 160 km southeast of Port Moresby, the airport sits in the Cape Rodney area of the Abau District. Its single unpaved runway is suited to small aircraft and charter operations, reflecting its role as a remote regional airstrip rather than a large commercial gateway.
The airport has a compact passenger building with basic check-in, waiting and restroom facilities. Services are limited, so most travelers arrange onward travel in advance; road transport connects to settlements such as Kupiano, while coastal boats are also used in the area.
Despite its small size, Cape Rodney Airport remains an important transport link for the region, supporting local movement, supply access, and connections to Port Moresby and other parts of Papua New Guinea.
