Air

Girua airport is 15km from town and one of several wartime strips in the area. From the air, you’ll notice the area around the airstrip is scattered with horseshoe mounds – the remains of WWII gun emplacements. Air Niugini (329 7022), next to the post office, has flights to and from Port Moresby (K295, 40 minutes, daily). Airlines PNG had a milk run that began in Port Moresby on Sunday and stopped at Popondetta, Tufi and Alotau before running back to Moresby on Monday. This suspended flight may yet be resumed.
