About Sehulea Airport
Sehulea Airport is a small airstrip on Normanby Island in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. It helps connect remote island communities in the D'Entrecasteaux Islands with larger centres in the province and supports travel for residents, medical services and supply flights.
The airport has a single unpaved runway and handles small aircraft and charter flights. Because of its remote setting, it plays a practical role for Esa'ala District rather than functioning as a large commercial airport.
Located near Sehulea on the north-eastern side of Normanby Island, the airstrip is roughly 87 km from Alotau, the main town in Milne Bay Province. There is no road link to the mainland, so onward travel normally continues by boat or small aircraft to Esa'ala, Alotau and other coastal destinations.
Travellers should expect basic facilities and limited scheduled services, and are advised to confirm flights, transfers and local transport before travelling.
