About Pumani Airport
Pumani Airport (PMN) is a small domestic airstrip serving Pumani and the surrounding communities of Milne Bay Province in eastern Papua New Guinea. The airport provides a remote air link for local residents, charter flights and small aircraft operating within the province.
The facility has a single grass runway of about 610 metres and sits at an elevation of roughly 130 metres. Passenger infrastructure is limited, reflecting the airport's role as a community airstrip rather than a major commercial terminal.
Pumani is located on the northern side of Milne Bay Province, approximately 120 kilometres from Alotau, the provincial capital. Access to and from the airstrip depends on local road, boat or air connections, so travellers should plan onward transport in advance.
Although amenities are basic, the airport remains an important connection point for communities in this remote part of Papua New Guinea, with nearby airstrips such as Biniguni and Agaun providing additional links across the region.
