Anguganak Airport (AKG)

Anguganak Airport (AKG) is a remote community airstrip in Papua New Guinea serving villages in Sandaun Province. The airfield features a short unsealed runway and a small shelter/terminal used on flight days by mission and charter operators. Check‑in is handled directly by the crew or local agent; passengers wait in a shaded area and walk to the aircraft for boarding.

The layout is entirely ground‑level and very compact. From the village track to the shelter is under a minute; the walk to parked aircraft is 30–60 seconds depending on stand position. There are no buses, gates, or jet bridges.

There is no formal security screening and no immigration/customs at AKG. All international formalities occur at larger PNG gateways. Weather and soft‑field conditions frequently affect schedules—expect delays in heavy rain.

Amenities are minimal: basic seating and shade, with no shops, restaurants, or ATMs. Ground transport is by foot or local vehicles; coordinate arrangements with hosts in advance.

Accessibility is basic but step‑free; staff and community members often assist travelers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal—carry baby supplies, water, and snacks.
