Long Island Airport (LSJ)

Long Island Airport is a small airfield serving Long Island, a populated volcanic island in the Vitiaz Strait within Papua New Guinea's Madang Province. The airport supports domestic and charter flights and provides an important air link for residents and visitors travelling between the island and the New Guinea mainland.

Located near the west-coast settlement of Matafun, the airport sits roughly 130 km east of Madang and about 65 km northeast of Saidor. It has a single grass runway and mainly handles light aircraft used for local passenger and cargo movements, reflecting the simple infrastructure typical of rural airstrips in the region.

Long Island has no road connection to the mainland, so the airport is a practical gateway for arrivals and departures alongside coastal boat services. Travellers continuing to Madang or other provincial destinations usually connect by small aircraft or by sea.

Passenger facilities are limited and basic, so visitors should prepare for a simple small-airstrip experience. The island itself is known for Lake Wisdom, a large freshwater crater lake at the centre of its volcanic caldera, making the airfield a useful entry point for those exploring the island.
