Tapini Airport guide

Tapini Airport (ICAO AYTI) is an airstrip serving Tapini, the administrative centre of Tapini Rural Local-level Government Area in the Goilala District of Central Province, Papua New Guinea. The strip sits in the mountains of central Papua at about 3,100 feet (945 metres) above sea level.

The approach is demanding. The strip is bounded at one end by mountains and at the other by a valley that falls away roughly 2,000 feet. Light turboprop aircraft have flown into Tapini since at least the late 1960s, when Patair operated Pilatus Turbo Porters to the station.

PNG Air lists scheduled flights to Port Moresby and Woitape. A landing permit is required.
