Gateway to Manus Island in remote Papua New Guinea.

Location
Manus Island, Papua New Guinea
Momote Airport (IATA: MAS, ICAO: AYMO) serves Manus Island, the capital of Manus Province in Papua New Guinea. It is the primary air access point for the island, which is located in the Bismarck Sea northeast of the Papua New Guinea mainland. The airport handles domestic flights connecting Manus Island to Port Moresby and other regional destinations. It plays a vital role in supporting the local economy and population, as air travel is one of the most practical means of reaching this remote island. During World War II, the Manus Island area saw significant Allied military activity, and the site has historical connections to wartime airfield construction in the Pacific theater.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote island airport.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Lorengau, the provincial capital, is available via road using taxis and PMV (public motor vehicles).
Airlines here
Air Niugini and PNG Air operate scheduled domestic services through Momote Airport.
