## Description

Air Niugini and PNG Air link Momote Airport on Los Negros Island to Port Moresby, giving Papua New Guinea's remote Manus Province its main air connection. The field traces back to a major Allied air base built during the Pacific war, which explains the long runways found across the area. Today it handles mostly passengers and light belly freight, without a dedicated cargo terminal or integrator presence. Heavier goods reach Manus chiefly by sea, while time-critical air cargo is routed through the national hub at Port Moresby. Its island setting makes reliable air links a practical reference point for the province's supply.
