About Lengbati Airport
Lengbati Airport is a small rural airstrip in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, serving the Lengbati area and surrounding highland communities. It is identified by the IATA code LNC and ICAO code AYLT, and mainly supports light aircraft and charter flights within the region.
The airstrip sits at an elevation of about 1,750 metres and has a single runway, designated 07/25, of roughly 468 metres in length. Its size means operations are limited to small aircraft suited to remote and mountainous terrain.
Lengbati lies approximately 56 km northeast of Lae, the main city of Morobe Province, with onward travel by road taking a considerable time because of the rugged local terrain. Port Moresby, the national capital, is around 345 km to the south.
For most travellers, Lengbati Airport functions as a local connection point rather than a full-service airport, with basic facilities on site and wider services available in Lae.
