Kerema Airport — Kerema, Papua New Guinea

Kerema Airport sits at the edge of Kerema, the capital of Gulf Province in Papua New Guinea, at an elevation of just 10 feet on the low-lying coastal plain facing the Gulf of Papua. A single asphalt runway of around 3,044 feet handles the light aircraft that form the backbone of transport in a country where rugged terrain and limited roads make aviation essential. For communities along this part of the gulf, flights through KMA connect them to Port Moresby and other centers, carrying passengers, mail, and goods. The airport reflects the broader pattern of Papua New Guinea's aviation network, where many towns rely on short strips rather than highways to stay linked to the outside world.
