Remote highland gateway serving Kandep District in Papua New Guinea.

Location

Kandep, Papua New Guinea

Kandep Airport is a small domestic airstrip located in Kandep, a remote district in Enga Province, Papua New Guinea.

The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services, providing essential connectivity for passengers, cargo, and medical evacuation operations in the area. Mission aviation and humanitarian organizations frequently utilize the airstrip alongside scheduled carriers. Due to its highland location and surrounding mountainous terrain, operations can be challenging, with weather conditions often dictating flight schedules. The facility is basic in infrastructure, reflecting its remote and rural setting.
