## Description

China Strait Airstrip (SQT/AYCS) near Samarai Island in Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay Province is a small strip for regional and charter flights in an island region without road links. There is no cargo terminal, no dedicated freight service and no customs post; goods mostly arrive by boat, with air cargo carried only as loose loads on light aircraft. For air freight the region relies on Alotau Gurney (GUR) as the regional centre and Port Moresby Jacksons International (POM) as the national gateway where customs clearance takes place.
