About Konge Airport
Konge Airport (KGB, ICAO: AYOE) is a small rural airstrip in the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. It serves the Konge district and nearby villages such as Nuzen and Kwambu, providing an important air link in a rugged highland area where road access is very limited.
Located at an elevation of about 1,798 metres, the airport has a single unpaved runway, 01/19, of roughly 614 metres. It is used mainly by light aircraft and supports short take-off and landing operations typical of regional flights in Papua New Guinea.
The airstrip lies approximately 60 km northeast of Lae, the provincial capital and main city of Morobe Province. Because there is no reliable road connection from the airport to Lae, travel to and from the area is normally arranged by air, with onward movement to nearby villages by foot track or local transport.
Konge Airport has only basic passenger facilities, with limited shelter and seating and no large terminal complex. Travelers should confirm flight schedules, charters and any ground arrangements in advance, as services in this remote part of Morobe Province are limited.
