Goroka Airport (IATA: GKA, ICAO: AYGA) is a domestic airport located in Goroka, the capital of Eastern Highlands Province in Papua New Guinea. Situated at an elevation of approximately 5,282 feet (1,610 meters) above sea level, it serves as a key air link for the highland region, which is largely inaccessible by reliable road from the coast. The airport primarily handles domestic flights connecting Goroka to Port Moresby and other regional centers within Papua New Guinea. Air Niugini and PNG Air are the main carriers serving the airport, providing essential connectivity for passengers and cargo to this highland city. Goroka is well known for hosting the annual Goroka Show, a major cultural festival, which significantly increases passenger traffic around that period. The airport's high-altitude location and surrounding mountainous terrain present challenges for aircraft operations.
