About Wasu Airport
Wasu Airport (ICAO: AYWS) is a small domestic airstrip serving Wasu, the capital of Tewae-Siassi District in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. It lies close to the town on the north coast of the Huon Peninsula and provides an air link for communities that are otherwise reached mainly by sea or rough roads.
The airport operates a single runway (8/26) and one small terminal area used for domestic and charter operations. Flights connect Wasu with regional hubs, including Nadzab Airport near Lae, and support local travel, business, medical and freight needs.
Because the airstrip is only about a kilometre from the town centre and near the wharf, arriving passengers can reach Wasu town, guesthouses and the coast quickly. Local movement within the area relies on vehicles, walking or boats from the nearby wharf.
Facilities are modest: the small terminal provides a basic waiting area, while most services are found in the town. As a small regional airport, Wasu functions as a practical domestic gateway to the Huon Peninsula rather than a large commercial hub.
