About Honinabi Airport
Honinabi Airport is a small remote airstrip serving the village of Honinabi in Papua New Guinea's Western Province. Located deep in the jungle, it is the only reliable transport link for the community because the village has no road or river access.
The airport is used mainly for domestic charter and mission flights, with the Mission Aviation Fellowship providing vital links for medical supplies, patient referrals and community travel to regional centres such as Kiunga and Tari. Its short grass runway is maintained by the local community and is suitable for small short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft.
The nearest town and district centre, Kiunga, is at least four days' walk away, making the airstrip essential for emergencies and trade. Facilities are very basic, with a shaded waiting area and no shops or commercial services.
Travel to and from the airport is arranged through charter operators and mission flights, and onward movement beyond the airstrip is generally on foot or by locally coordinated transport.
