Obo Airport guide

Obo Airport (IATA OBX, ICAO AYOB) is a small airstrip serving the village of Obo in Western Province, Papua New Guinea. It lies in the remote south-west of the country, and the airstrip sits at an elevation of about 9 metres above sea level.

The airfield has a single runway, listed at about 600 metres long, which suits light aircraft and short take-off and landing types. It is an airstrip rather than a large commercial airport, so travellers should not expect the terminal buildings, shops or services found at the country's major airports.

Wikipedia lists PNG Air as the airline connecting Obo with Lake Murray and Suki, two other airstrips in the province. Flights and schedules on routes like these change often, so confirm current service with the airline before planning travel.

Because Obo is a small and remote community, it is sensible to arrange onward travel and accommodation in advance rather than relying on finding them on arrival.
