About Wasua Airport
Wasua Airport is a small domestic aerodrome serving the remote village of Wasua and nearby communities in Western Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides a local air link for a sparsely populated area near the Fly River and the Gulf of Papua.
The airport has a single runway, designated 05/23 and approximately 610 metres long, and is used mainly by charter and light aircraft rather than scheduled commercial services. Its simple infrastructure is typical of rural airstrips in the region.
Located about 96 kilometres from Daru, the provincial capital, the airport has no direct road connection to the town. Access is generally by air or river transport, and ground travel options are limited.
Facilities are basic, and travellers should plan carefully and carry essential supplies. The airport remains an important access point for remote communities and regional travel in Western Province.
