Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport

Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport is the busiest airport in Papua New Guinea and serves as the main hub for both domestic and international air travel in the country. Named after John Jackson, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot who died during World War II, the airport handles the majority of PNG's air traffic connections to Australia, Asia, and the Pacific region. The airport is operated by the National Airports Corporation (NAC) of Papua New Guinea and has undergone various upgrades over the decades to expand capacity. It serves as the primary base for Air Niugini, the national carrier of Papua New Guinea. Located approximately 8 kilometres from the Port Moresby city centre, the airport handles several million passengers annually and is a critical piece of infrastructure for a country that relies heavily on aviation due to its challenging mountainous terrain and limited road network.
