Wewak International Airport guide

Wewak International Airport, also called Boram Airport, serves Wewak, the capital of East Sepik Province on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. It sits on a small peninsula east of the town centre, beside Boram Hospital. The field began as a Japanese airfield during the Second World War and has stayed in use since.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 10/28, about 1,595 metres long. That length suits Fokker 100 jets and Dash 8 turboprops. Air Niugini flies Fokker jets between Port Moresby and Wewak, and its network from here also reaches Madang, Mount Hagen and Vanimo. PNG Air serves Mount Hagen. Scheduled international flights ended in June 1996, when Air Niugini stopped its service to Jayapura in Indonesia.

The National Airports Corporation operates the airport. It repaired the runway in 2021, and Air Niugini resumed Fokker jet flights on 12 November 2021. In March 2026 the corporation lifted a temporary closure after a safety and security risk assessment, so passengers should confirm flight times with their airline before travelling.
