Location

Kandrian, Papua New Guinea

Kandrian Airport (IATA: KDR, ICAO: AYKC) is a small domestic airport serving the town of Kandrian in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. It provides essential air access to an otherwise isolated coastal community on the southern shore of New Britain island. The airport supports light aircraft and small regional turboprop operations, functioning as a vital link for residents, government workers, and missionaries in the surrounding area. Air travel is the primary practical means of reaching Kandrian, as road infrastructure in the region is extremely limited. Air Niugini and local charter operators have historically served routes connecting Kandrian to larger centers such as Kimbe and Port Moresby, though schedules are limited and subject to change.

Terminals

The airport has a basic single terminal facility typical of remote Papua New Guinea airstrips, with minimal passenger amenities.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport to Kandrian town is limited to private vehicles and informal arrangements, as no formal public transit exists.
