About Nissan Island Airport
Nissan Island Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Nissan Island, the largest island in the Green Islands group of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. The airport sits at an elevation of about 100 feet (30 metres) and operates a single 1,200-metre (3,937 ft) runway designated 14/32.
As a remote island airfield, it provides essential air links for local communities and is served mainly by small propeller aircraft and charter flights. These connections support travel between Nissan Island, nearby Buka, and other parts of Bougainville, where onward journeys often continue by boat.
The terminal is a modest single building handling check-in, waiting, arrivals and baggage in one compact area. Passenger facilities are limited compared with larger airports, so travellers are advised to plan for basic amenities.
Located in the Green Islands roughly 95 kilometres northwest of Buka, the airport is reached by air or, over longer distances, by sea. It functions as a small but important gateway for visitors and residents travelling to and from this remote part of Bougainville.
