Remote airstrip serving the Haewenai community in Papua New Guinea.

Location
Haewenai, Papua New Guinea
Haewenai Airstrip (ICAO: AYHW) is a small general aviation facility located in the Haewenai area of Papua New Guinea. It serves as a vital air access point for a remote community that has limited or no practical road connections to larger population centers. Like many rural airstrips in Papua New Guinea, Haewenai is likely used by small charter aircraft and missionary aviation organizations to deliver passengers, medical supplies, and essential goods. These types of strips are critical to the country's remote communities given Papua New Guinea's challenging terrain and infrastructure limitations. Detailed operational and infrastructure data for this airstrip is not widely documented in public aviation records, reflecting its status as a minor, community-level facility.
