About Ihu Airport
Ihu Airport is a small domestic airport serving Ihu, a coastal town in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea. It provides an essential air link for local communities and supports onward travel through regional centres such as Port Moresby.
The airport has a single unpaved runway and a basic passenger terminal. It lies close to Ihu village on the coast of the Gulf of Papua, approximately 42 km east of Kerema, the provincial capital, although road travel between the two can take much longer.
Movement around Ihu depends mainly on local road and water transport, and the airport is primarily used by light aircraft and charter flights serving remote coastal and inland settlements.
Facilities are limited, so travellers should expect a simple terminal experience and confirm flight arrangements in advance. For visitors, the airport serves as a practical entry point to the Gulf Province coast rather than a full-service hub.
