## Description

Set among the Enga highlands at about 1,795 m above sea level, Wapenamanda is one of the airstrips that open up Papua New Guinea's rugged interior. PNG Air connects it to Mount Hagen and Port Moresby, moving passengers and basic supplies rather than commercial freight. There is no cargo terminal; export goods from this coffee-growing country are consolidated through the highlands hub at Mount Hagen (Kagamuga). Demanding weather and terrain keep approaches difficult and capacity small. For forwarders, Wapenamanda is a local feeder whose consignments are pooled at Mount Hagen.
