Buka Airport — Buka Island, Papua New Guinea

Buka Airport serves Buka Island, the administrative center of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. Coded BUA, the field's elevation comes in at a mere 11 feet, and one runway handles everything that moves through the site. The field connects Buka to Port Moresby and other Papua New Guinean towns, giving the wider Bougainville region an air link it relies on heavily, given its island geography and limited sea transport options. BUA plays a particularly important role for the movement of officials, goods, and residents between Bougainville and the rest of Papua New Guinea.
