About Tabubil Airport
Tabubil Airport serves the town of Tabubil in the remote Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea's Western Province. The airport was developed to support the nearby Ok Tedi Mine and continues to provide a vital air link for the mining workforce, local residents and visiting personnel.
The airport has a single runway and one compact passenger terminal handling regional flights. It is served by airlines including PNG Air and Air Niugini, with connections to Port Moresby, Mount Hagen, Kiunga and other regional centres.
Located close to the town centre, the airport offers short road access to Tabubil and its surrounding facilities. Taxis are limited and best arranged in advance, while private transfers and hotel arrangements provide a more reliable way to continue a journey.
Facilities are basic but sufficient for a small regional gateway, with a small café and limited retail options. Travellers should be prepared for remote conditions and possible weather-related schedule changes in this mountainous area.
