Wewak International Airport

As a key gateway to the northern coast, WWK connects remote Sepik River communities to Port Moresby and other domestic hubs via regional carriers. The airport played a significant historical role during World War II as a Japanese military stronghold, and remnants of that era still surround the region. Today it primarily handles small to mid-sized aircraft, supporting trade, tourism, and essential supply routes for surrounding villages. Its single runway and modest terminal reflect the practical needs of a coastal provincial capital rather than international volume, but it remains indispensable for the province's connectivity.
