About Siwea Airport
Siwea Airport (SWE) is a small regional airstrip in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, serving the village of Siwea and nearby communities in a mountainous part of the province. The airport sits at an elevation of about 1,817 metres and has a short grass runway.
It mainly supports light aircraft and charter flights used for local travel and supplies in a region where road access can be limited. Because it is a rural airstrip, services and infrastructure are basic compared with Papua New Guinea's larger airports.
The airport lies near the village of Siwea, roughly 82 km from Lae, the main city of Morobe Province, with onward travel generally by road. Travelers should confirm flight arrangements directly with operators, as scheduled service availability can vary.
Despite its small size, Siwea Airport provides an important connection for residents and visitors moving between remote inland areas and the provincial capital or coastal towns.
