About Wedau Airport
Wedau Airport is a small rural aerodrome serving Wedau and surrounding coastal villages in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides an important air link for communities where road access is limited, supporting travel to nearby settlements and onward connections to Alotau.
Located on the north coast of Milne Bay, the airport sits roughly 46 km northwest of Alotau, the provincial capital. Travel in the area is usually by light aircraft or coastal boat rather than road, so the airstrip plays a key role in regional mobility.
The facility is basic, with a single airstrip and limited passenger amenities, typical of remote rural aerodromes in Papua New Guinea. Passengers should expect simple check-in and waiting areas and plan for minimal services.
Flights generally connect Wedau with Alotau and other points in Milne Bay Province, making the airport a practical entry point for visitors and residents travelling through this part of Papua New Guinea.
