About Salamo Airport
Salamo Airport is a small airfield serving the village of Salamo on Fergusson Island in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides an important domestic connection for a remote island community and supports travel to surrounding villages and coastal areas.
The airfield has a single runway, designated 14/32 and approximately 930 metres long, suitable for small aircraft and charter flights. It functions primarily as a point of access for local travel rather than as a large passenger terminal.
Salamo Airport sits close to Salamo village on Fergusson Island. Because the island is not connected to mainland Papua New Guinea by road, onward travel generally involves local road connections within the island, boats to nearby islands, or connecting flights.
Facilities at the airfield are limited and geared to basic arrivals and departures, so travelers are advised to arrange transport and supplies in advance.
