About Masa Airport
Masa Airport (MBV) is a small domestic airstrip in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, located near the village of Masa in the province's highlands. It mainly supports community access and light aircraft operations rather than large-scale scheduled commercial flights.
The airstrip sits at an elevation of about 1,798 meters and has a single unlighted runway, designated 17/35, measuring roughly 385 meters. It is used for domestic and charter flying that connects remote communities with larger regional centers.
Lae, the main city of Morobe Province, lies about 79 km to the southwest, while the coastal town of Finschhafen is approximately 42 km away. Because road travel in the area can be slow and difficult, air access plays an important role for local residents and visitors.
Travelers using Masa Airport should arrange onward transport in advance, as facilities and scheduled connections are limited compared with major airports.
