About Dinangat Airport
Dinangat Airport is a small rural airstrip serving Dinangat and the wider Yus area in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Situated in the remote Kabwum District, it provides an important air link for communities where road access remains limited and travel can be difficult. The airstrip has a single runway set at high elevation in mountainous terrain. Most operations involve light aircraft and charter flights connecting the Dinangat area with Lae, Nadzab and other regional centres, rather than scheduled international or large commercial traffic. The airport lies roughly 72 km from Lae, the main city of Morobe Province and a key transport hub for the region. Access is mainly by air, although a road link between the Erap area and Dinangat has been under development to improve overland connections to Kabwum District. Passenger facilities at the airstrip are basic, so travellers typically plan onward arrangements in advance. For most visitors, the airport functions as a community gateway to remote parts of Morobe Province, with onward connections available through Lae and Nadzab.
