About Gasuke Airport
Gasuke Airport is a small domestic airstrip in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, serving the village of Gasuke and surrounding Fly River communities. It operates as a remote regional gateway for light aircraft and domestic charter flights rather than a large commercial hub.
The airport lies roughly 50 km east of Kiunga and is within reach of the Ok Tedi and Tabubil areas to the northwest. Its single runway, about 762 metres long with a grassed clay surface, supports small aircraft operations and connects remote settlements to larger centres in the region.
Because facilities are limited, most passenger services are basic, and travellers typically use the airstrip for onward road or air connections through Kiunga or Tabubil. The surrounding area is remote, and travel plans should allow for weather and road conditions.
As a small airstrip without international passenger facilities, Gasuke Airport serves mainly local residents, government workers, mission staff and visitors travelling to remote parts of the Fly River region.
