About Imonda Airport
Imonda Airport is a small domestic airport serving Imonda, a government station and village area in Sandaun Province, formerly West Sepik, in Papua New Guinea. It supports regional and light aircraft operations in a remote lowland area close to the Indonesian border.
The airport has a single runway, 11/29, roughly 760 metres in length, and a compact terminal and apron area. Its IATA code is IMD and its ICAO code is AYIO, and the airfield sits at an elevation of about 990 feet (302 metres).
Imonda Airport lies about 75 km south of Vanimo, the provincial capital. Road access to Vanimo follows a rugged inland route that typically takes around four hours, making advance transport arrangements important for travellers.
Because passenger services and facilities are limited, the airport mainly serves as a local access point for the Imonda area, government staff, community travel and light aircraft rather than large-scale commercial traffic.
