About Guriaso (Keraso) Airport
Guriaso (Keraso) Airport (GUE) is a small remote airstrip serving the village of Guriaso in the Amanab District of Sandaun (West Sepik) Province, Papua New Guinea. It sits in dense tropical rainforest at an elevation of about 400 feet and provides a vital link for an area with very limited road access.
The airport has minimal infrastructure, with a single unpaved runway suited to short take-off and landing aircraft. There is no formal passenger terminal, and flights are operated mainly by mission aviation organisations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and charter operators, typically using light aircraft to connect with regional hubs like Vanimo and Wewak.
Because scheduled airline service is not available, travel to and from Guriaso is usually arranged in advance. The airstrip supports the delivery of health services, supplies, and emergency medical evacuations for nearby communities.
Travellers should be prepared for basic conditions and weather-dependent operations, and should arrange a local contact or guide and sufficient cash before arriving.
