About Itokama Airport
Itokama Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving Itokama village and the surrounding communities of Oro Province, Papua New Guinea. The airfield lies inland in the eastern part of the province, near the village of Itokama, and is used mainly by light aircraft and charter flights.
The airport has a single grass runway of roughly 700 metres, suited to small aircraft rather than large commercial jets. It sits approximately 45 km from Popondetta, the provincial capital, where Girua Airport offers wider regional connections.
Because road conditions in this part of Papua New Guinea can be difficult, air access plays a practical role in local travel, medical needs, supplies and community movement. Flights are typically arranged through local operators or charter services.
Passenger facilities at the airfield are limited, so travellers should prepare for basic conditions and confirm plans in advance. From Itokama, onward journeys continue by road or pre-arranged transport toward nearby villages and Popondetta.
