About Negarbo Airport
Negarbo Airport, also written Negabo Airport, is a small domestic airstrip in Chimbu Province in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. It serves the village of Negarbo and surrounding rural communities, providing an important air link in a region where road access can be difficult.
The airport sits at an elevation of about 1,372 metres (4,500 feet) and operates a single runway, 11/29, used mainly by light aircraft on domestic flights. Because it is a remote airstrip, services and facilities are limited, and travellers typically rely on small aircraft or charter flights to reach nearby highland centres.
Negarbo Airport is roughly 68 km from Kundiawa, the provincial capital, and is also a practical access point for other parts of the Chimbu highlands. Ground connections depend on local road conditions, and onward journeys are often arranged by private transfer, shared vehicle or charter transport.
For travellers visiting this part of Papua New Guinea, the airport provides a basic but essential gateway to remote highland villages. Planning transfers and supplies in advance is recommended, as public transport and commercial services around the airstrip are limited.
