## Description

Modernised in the 2010s under an Asian Development Bank–funded civil aviation programme, Hoskins Airport (IATA: HKN, ICAO: AYHK) serves Kimbe in West New Britain. Air Niugini and PNG Air link the field to Port Moresby, carrying passengers and belly freight. The region's mainstay, palm oil from New Britain Palm Oil, leaves by sea through Kimbe's wharf rather than by air; the airport has no dedicated cargo terminal or freighters. Time-critical shipments and import-export customs clearance are consolidated through Port Moresby's Jacksons International (POM), with Tokua near Rabaul (RAB) the nearest alternative on the island. Hoskins is a well-kept regional gateway with a passenger-led role.
