About Manguna Airport
Manguna Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Manguna in the Central Inland Pomio area of East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. It primarily supports regional and community air services rather than large-scale commercial traffic.
The airfield has a single runway and limited infrastructure, reflecting its role as a rural aviation link for the Pomio district. Domestic flights and charter operations provide connections between this remote area and larger centres such as Kokopo and Rabaul.
Located inland from the southern coast of New Britain, Manguna is reached mainly by small aircraft, and the airport is an important transport link for communities with limited road access. Ground travel to Kokopo can take several hours depending on conditions.
Because facilities are basic, travellers should confirm flight schedules, baggage rules and local transport arrangements in advance.
