About Suabi Airport
Suabi Airport (SBE) is a small rural airstrip in Western Province, Papua New Guinea, serving the village of Suabi and surrounding Kubo and Febi communities near the Strickland River. Its single runway supports light aircraft used for community, missionary and charter flights.
Located roughly 107 km from Kiunga, the main town of the North Fly District, the airport is part of the network of small airstrips that connect remote parts of Western Province. It is generally reached by air because there is no regular road link to Kiunga.
The airstrip sits at an elevation of about 465 ft (142 m). Flights are typically operated by mission aviation and charter providers rather than scheduled commercial airlines.
Passenger facilities are basic, with no terminal shops or lounges. The airport functions mainly as a practical gateway for local residents and visitors continuing to nearby villages.
