Gateway to Papua New Guinea's Sepik River region.

Location

Wewak, Papua New Guinea

Wewak International Airport (IATA: WWK, ICAO: AYWK) is the main airport serving Wewak, the capital of East Sepik Province in Papua New Guinea. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is largely inaccessible by road, making aviation a critical lifeline for passengers and cargo alike. The airport supports scheduled domestic services as well as limited international operations, primarily connecting Wewak to Port Moresby and other provincial centers. Its international designation reflects its capacity to handle cross-border flights, though regular international scheduled services are limited. Wewak and the surrounding Sepik River area are known for cultural heritage, traditional art, and ecotourism, and the airport plays a key role in supporting tourism and humanitarian operations in the province.

Terminals

The airport has a modest single terminal building suited to the relatively low passenger volumes of a provincial PNG airport.

Getting to & from

Ground transport between the airport and Wewak town is primarily by taxi and privately arranged vehicles, as formal public transit options are limited.
