About Uroubi Airport
Uroubi Airport (URU) is a small domestic aerodrome serving Uroubi and surrounding communities in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea. It supports light aircraft and short-haul operations that connect remote parts of the province with larger towns and regional centres.
The aerodrome lies at an elevation of about 147 metres and has a single runway, 09/27, approximately 480 metres long. Its modest infrastructure reflects its role as a rural airstrip rather than a major commercial hub.
Uroubi is located in the southern part of Oro Province, roughly 90 kilometres southeast of Popondetta, the provincial capital, and around 150 kilometres east of Port Moresby. Road access in the area can be limited, so air travel is an important connection for local communities.
Facilities at the airport are basic, and travelers are advised to confirm flight schedules, local transport and supplies in advance. The airport remains a practical gateway for residents and visitors moving between Uroubi and nearby towns such as Safia, Embessa and Popondetta.
