About Pangoa Airport
Pangoa Airport (IATA: PGB, ICAO: AYPC) is a small remote airstrip serving Pangoa in the Middle Fly District of Papua New Guinea's Western Province. It functions mainly as a rural aviation link for charter, missionary, medical and supply flights rather than as a conventional commercial airport.
The airfield has a single grassed clay runway (01/19) of approximately 730 metres and sits close to the Fly River region. Operations are generally limited to daylight and visual flight rules, with light aircraft serving remote communities.
The airport lies around 7 km from Pangoa town centre. Onward travel is informal and usually arranged in advance by road, river or small boat, with Kiunga about 104 km away as a larger regional centre.
Passenger facilities are minimal, with a basic waiting shelter and no commercial shops or lounges, so visitors should be self-sufficient and confirm transport before arriving. The airstrip remains an essential access point for isolated Western Province communities.
