About Menyamya Airport
Menyamya Airport is a small domestic airfield serving the town of Menyamya and the remote Menyamya district in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Because the surrounding highlands are isolated, the airfield is an important connection for communities that would otherwise rely on long and difficult four-wheel-drive roads.
Scheduled and charter light-aircraft flights link Menyamya with Nadzab, the airport serving Lae and the wider Markham Valley area. The airfield has a single runway and a compact apron used for domestic and community air services.
By road, Menyamya lies about 222 km from Lae, a journey that typically takes seven to nine hours through mountainous terrain and across several high passes. The airfield therefore remains the fastest practical link for supplies, health services and passenger travel.
The airport itself is small, with basic passenger facilities near the apron. Menyamya town, where guesthouses, shops and services are found, is about 1 km away.
