About Losuia Airport
Losuia Airport is a small domestic airport on Kiriwina Island in the Trobriand Islands of Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. The airfield dates to the Second World War, when it was built by US Army engineers in 1943 as Kiriwina Airfield, and it remains an essential air link for the island.
Located a few kilometres northeast of Losuia town, the airport connects Kiriwina Island with Alotau through scheduled regional flights operated by PNG Air, with onward connections to Port Moresby. It serves local communities, visitors and small-scale tourism across the Trobriand Islands.
The terminal infrastructure is modest, with a single small building handling arrivals and departures. Onward travel to Losuia town, guesthouses and villages is usually by pre-arranged vehicle, local transport or walking along limited island roads.
Facilities are basic rather than commercial, so travelers should bring local currency and essentials. Despite its small size, Losuia Airport functions as an important gateway for exploring Kiriwina Island's coastal areas and distinctive culture.
