Gateway to New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea.

Location

Kavieng, Papua New Guinea

Kavieng Airport is a domestic airport serving Kavieng, the capital of New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea. It connects the island town to Port Moresby and other regional destinations, supporting the local economy and population. The airport handles relatively modest passenger volumes typical of a provincial PNG hub, primarily serving government officials, tourists visiting the surrounding dive sites, and local residents. Its location on the northeastern tip of New Ireland Island makes it a vital link for communities that would otherwise rely entirely on sea transport. Kavieng itself is known for world-class wreck diving and surfing, and the airport plays an important role in facilitating tourism to the region. Air Niugini and its regional subsidiary Link PNG have historically served this airport.
