  "connection_tips": "Marawaka is a true Papua New Guinea bush-airstrip arrival where the flight is only possible because the surface journey is effectively absent. That means the connection plan is really a village and foot-trail plan: who meets you, where you sleep, what you carry, and how the group adapts if weather shifts the flight. Morning flying is usually easier, but you should still expect the possibility of delay, weight restriction, or changed routing. MWG works for people who already have a community, mission, or operator waiting for them.\n\nIf you are landing here, it should already be part of a charter, mission, church, government, or community-supported movement with every detail settled in advance. Without that, arriving at MWG does not get you into a transport system; it simply drops you into the highlands. Carry essentials on your person, especially medicines, communications gear, and anything needed for the first day. It is not a place to improvise after touchdown\n\nThere is no road network to fall back on, no public transport, and no terminal service environment at all. Because the terrain and weather are serious factors, the best planning is conservative planning. If the wider itinerary begins in Goroka or Lae, treat Marawaka as the expedition leg, not as a routine commuter hop.",

  "terminal_info": "Marawaka Airport (MWG) is a remote airstrip serving the Marawaka community in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. The facility is extremely basic, featuring a grass runway and a simple shaded area for passengers. It is a critical lifeline for this isolated highland region, where there are no road connections to the rest of the country.\n\nThere are no commercial amenities at the airstrip, and travelers must be entirely self-sufficient. Operations are primarily handled by missionary aviation services and small charter operators who transport essential goods, medical supplies, and passengers. The airstrip's challenging terrain and weather conditions require skilled pilots and well-maintained aircraft.\n\nArriving at Marawaka offers an immediate immersion into the rugged and spectacular beauty of the PNG highlands. All logistical arrangements, including food and accommodation, must be pre-arranged with local contacts. The airport remains the only link for the Marawaka people to government services and the broader national economy.",
