About Dabo Airport
Dabo Airport (DAO) is a small domestic airfield in Northern (Oro) Province, Papua New Guinea, serving the Dabo area and nearby rural communities. It provides a local air connection in a region where overland travel can be slow and weather-dependent.
The airport sits at an elevation of around 36 metres and mainly handles light aircraft and charter flights rather than large commercial operations. Its location makes it a practical entry point for travellers heading toward Kokoda and the surrounding Oro Province highlands.
Dabo Airport lies roughly 58 km from Popondetta, the provincial capital, and about 130 km from Port Moresby. Because scheduled services and road links are limited, most passengers arrange onward transport in advance.
As a small regional airfield, the airport offers basic passenger facilities. Travellers should confirm flight schedules, check-in requirements and ground transport options with their airline or local operator before departure.
