## Description

At roughly 4,974 feet above sea level, Chimbu Airport (CMU) sits in the Simbu coffee highlands of Papua New Guinea near Kundiawa. Most freight here moves by road rather than air: the Highlands Highway carries the region's arabica down to the port and cargo airport at Lae. The short, demanding runway handles mainly passengers and belly load, with no dedicated cargo terminal. Export and air-freight shipments are routed via Lae or Port Moresby (POM). For forwarders, CMU complements a road network that does the heavy lifting.
