About Iboki Airport
Iboki Airport is a small regional airstrip serving Iboki and nearby coastal communities on the northern shore of New Britain in Papua New Guinea's West New Britain Province. It provides a useful domestic air link for a remote part of the province where road access is limited.
The airfield has wartime origins; it was built by American forces in early 1944 during the New Britain campaign and was used by liaison and spotting aircraft operating between the Cape Gloucester and Talasea areas. Today it functions as a modest domestic airstrip handling light aircraft and small passenger services.
Located on the coast of the Bismarck Sea, the airport sits roughly 100 km from Kimbe, the provincial capital, and is also relatively close to Kandrian. Onward travel is typically made by local road, boat or pre-arranged charter, depending on weather and route conditions.
Facilities are basic rather than extensive, with a simple passenger waiting area and limited services. Travellers using Iboki Airport should plan ahead, carry essentials and confirm flight and transfer arrangements before departure.
