Remote airstrip serving the Samberigi Valley in Papua New Guinea.
Location
Samberigi Mission, Papua New Guinea
Samberigi Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip located in the Samberigi Mission area of Enga or Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It serves as a vital link for the isolated communities of the Samberigi Valley, where air transport is often the only practical means of access due to the rugged terrain and lack of road infrastructure.
The airstrip supports light aircraft operations, primarily used for missionary activities, humanitarian supply runs, and basic passenger transport. Organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) have historically operated services to such remote strips across Papua New Guinea, including those in this region.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited due to the remote and mountainous terrain surrounding the airstrip.
