About Leron Plains Airport
Leron Plains Airport is a small regional airfield serving Leron Plains and the surrounding Markham Valley in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. It mainly handles light aircraft, charter flights and rural air services rather than large commercial airline traffic.
The airfield sits at about 680 feet above sea level, roughly 80 km from Lae, the provincial capital and one of Papua New Guinea's main port cities. Its position along the Highlands Highway corridor links coastal and valley communities with the Eastern Highlands.
The airport operates from a single grass runway and has very limited terminal and passenger infrastructure. Because facilities are minimal, travelers should plan food, fuel and onward transport in advance.
Road connections via the Highlands Highway allow onward travel to Lae, Kainantu, Goroka and other towns. Travelers can arrange private transfers, charters, group transport or self-drive vehicles for the journey, with travel times depending on road conditions.
