About Naoro Airport
Naoro Airport is a small rural airstrip serving Naoro and nearby communities in Central Province, Papua New Guinea. It sits close to the Kokoda Track area, making it a useful access point for charter flights supporting trekkers, local residents and light cargo operations.
Located roughly 50 km from Port Moresby, the airport is primarily reached by small charter and light aircraft rather than by regular road or scheduled airline services. Its basic infrastructure reflects its role as a remote community airstrip rather than a full commercial terminal.
The airstrip offers limited passenger facilities, and most services such as food, water and ground transport need to be organized in advance. Visitors typically use Naoro as a starting or support point for Kokoda Track journeys and travel around the surrounding highlands.
Because of its remote location, travel planning is important. Arrivals and departures are usually coordinated with charter operators, and onward movement to Port Moresby or other destinations is best arranged before arrival.
