About Sauren Airport
Sauren Airport is a small rural airstrip serving Sauren village and the surrounding southern coast of West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides a basic air link for remote communities where road access is limited, supporting light aircraft, charter flights, and local supply or medical movements.
Located in Sauren, the airport lies on the island of New Britain, roughly 150 km west of Kimbe, the provincial capital and main commercial centre. Kandrian is the nearest town of note to the east, while Port Moresby, the national capital, is about 430 km to the southwest.
The airport operates a single runway designated 2/20, with minimal infrastructure and no full passenger terminal. Because facilities are limited, travelers should plan for a simple arrival experience and arrange onward transport in advance.
Access is primarily by small aircraft, with continuing journeys to Kimbe, Kandrian, and coastal communities made by four-wheel-drive vehicle, boat, or on foot. For scheduled commercial services and broader connections, travelers commonly use larger regional airports such as Hoskins Airport near Kimbe.
