About Pimaga Airport
Pimaga Airport (PMP) is a small domestic airstrip serving Pimaga and the surrounding villages of Papua New Guinea's Southern Highlands Province. It provides an essential air link for a remote, mountainous area where road access is limited and slow.
The airport has a single grass runway, designated 09/27 and roughly 885 metres long, and a compact terminal used for all arrivals and departures. Services focus on light aircraft, community flights and charter operations rather than scheduled international traffic.
Located close to Pimaga village, the airport sits about 45 kilometres south of Mendi, the Southern Highlands provincial centre. By road the journey to Mendi is slow and can take several hours through highland terrain, so small aircraft offer an important connection between Pimaga and larger centres such as Mendi and Moro.
Passenger facilities are minimal, and travellers should arrange ground transport in advance. Private four-wheel-drive transfers, local vehicles and group transport are the most practical ways to reach Pimaga village, Mendi or other highland destinations after landing.
