Port Moresby International Airport

Port Moresby International Airport , also known as Jacksons International Airport, is an international airport located outside of Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. It is the largest and busiest airport in Papua New Guinea, with an estimated 1.6 million passengers using the airport in 2025, and is the main hub for Air Niugini, the national airline of Papua New Guinea, as well as the main hub for PNG Air. It replaced the original Port Moresby airport, in what is now the suburb of Waigani, whose airstrip remained until the 1990s but no trace of which remains, having been built over.

History

Port Moresby International Airport originated as the 7 Mile Drome within the Port Moresby Airfield Complex. The strip was renamed Jackson Airfield in honour of Australian fighter ace John Francis Jackson, who was killed in action in 1942 during the New Guinea campaign.

Terminals Jacksons International Airport consists of two terminals: the Domestic Terminal, housing Air Niugini and PNG Air, and the International Terminal, servicing all other international airlines including Air Niugini's and PNG Air's international routes. The International Terminal features four aircraft parking bays, four of which are equipped with aerobridges. The two terminals are linked by a covered walkway.
